SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC 4 Utah) - Sarah Palin was the featured speaker for the annual Pregnancy Resource Center of Salt Lake City fundraiser. The former Alaska Governor highlighted the importance for woman to have options and a place to turn to for help.
The organization helps give counseling, pregnancy tests, and free ultrasounds to women. The group spends around $375,000 for their services and this event is their biggest fundraiser of the year.
Executive Director Jim Kerr said Palin's story is an inspiration to a lot of people and their clients that's why he invited her to come.
By giving food, clothing, and sullies to mothers in need Kerr said they are letting women know they are not alone if they need help with a pregnancy.
"To know what their options are and that's what we are about," said Kerr. "To talk about all three of their options when they have an unplanned pregnancy to make sure they are fully educated so they can make an informed decision. When it comes right down to it it is there decision."
