St. Raymond’s Society maternity home found that supporting pregnant women through pro-life agencies saves hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars by limiting future public spending on resources for homelessness and other social benefit programs, according to a report released Tuesday first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The policy gives donors to pro-life maternity homes a 70% return to use on their taxes.

“We know it’s good work, but by the same token, it’s also beneficial to the states,” Steve Smith, co-founder of St. Raymond’s Society, told the DCNF. “When you can prove the results that it’s saving the state money, it helps.”
