Chris Slattery, age 63, is a native of NYC, and he pursued a dream to support pregnant women and girls in need with real alternatives to abortion and he launched Expectant Mother Care-EMC FrontLine Pregnancy Centers in mid-town Manhattan in 1985, while also working in the advertising business.

EMC has offered over 150,000 pregnant women in crisis- free pregnancy testing, on-site ultrasounds, pro-life counseling, onsite subsidized pre-natal care, STD testing, and on-site adoption arrangements, referrals for housing and legal aid, and material assistance. Over 43,000 girls and women counseled and served by EMC have chosen Life, instead of abortion.

Chris pioneered the use of onsite ultrasound and pre-natal care in a crisis center in the mid 80s, and introduced 3D and 4D ultrasound in lifesaving work when the technology became available. He also pioneered using mobile ultrasounds with sidewalk counseling teams in major cities, at abortion clinics.
