If you were driving on Main Street in Waterville on recent Saturday morning, just a bit north of Railroad Square, and noticed a small crowd of pro-choice activists, you might have wondered “Why there?”

Across the street, in the building formerly occupied by Elm City Photo, is the Resolve Life Center, which claims to be a “shame-free, judgment-free, go-to place for unexpected pregnancy solutions.” One of the options they claim to provide information about is abortion.

However, don’t assume you’ll get unbiased information: Their whole purpose is to talk you out of having an abortion. They provide a “limited” ultrasound, so you can see the embryo or fetus. But keep in mind that this is not a real medical establishment, so they cannot give you a real medical examination, and they are not required to keep your information private, either.

If you want to know about all your pregnancy options, there are Maine Family Planning clinics in Waterville, Augusta, and Skowhegan, where no matter what you choose to do, you’ll find support and respect.
