She is also a frequent guest on national radio talk shows, a columnist for World Net Daily (www.wnd.com ) as well as LifeSiteNews, Olive Tree Views, Barbwire and other media outlets, and she is a regular conference speaker.
Mrs. Harvey has spoken on Capitol Hill and testified before state legislative committees.

The Pregnancy Resource Center is located at 852 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown, Ohio. It is a Christian, non-profit, life-affirming organization that provides services to women in the midst of an unexpected pregnancy enabling them to choose life for their baby. It also serves families with infants and toddlers who are struggling financially. Services include free pregnancy tests, the opportunity to take parenting classes in order to earn a crib, car seat, bassinet, baby clothes, diapers and other equipment as available.
The PRC receives no government funding at the local, state or federal level and depends on private donations from individuals, churches, businesses and fundraisers.
The PRC holds a very important place in Brown County and surrounding communities. Without its presence, many families with infants and toddlers will go without basic necessities such as diapers, baby food, formula, cribs and car seats, to mention just a few.
Those unable to attend the dinner, but who are interested in more information or in supporting the PRC may call 937-378-6853 or send donations to Pregnancy Resource Center, PO Box 136, Georgetown, Ohio 45121.
