Norma's entry into the Pro-life Arena began with her own personal journey in finding help and healing from her own past abortions. Her pro-life ministry began at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. In 2007, Norma founded "Options," A Women's Care Center in Chino, California, and then opened a second location, which was a former abortion clinic in Los Angeles County. She has assisted in educating churches around the nation in the start-up of Pro-life programs along with "Abortion Healing" Ministries in their churches and initiated the first ever
