The National Catholic Bioethics Center is a highly respected organization that frequently provides consultations for bishops and other Catholic leaders. Anchorage Archbishop Roger Schwietz enlisted the center's help in updating and refining Providence's written guidelines on early induction.

The USCCB's Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs) provide Catholic principles relating to pregnancy and many other areas of health care.
