A New York Minute
Let me encourage you to not sit back and stay silent on this issue. Let me encourage you to get involved in a loving and compassionate way to help. Here are just a few ways you can help:
Perhaps many of you are heartbroken over the law in NYC that was passed earlier in the week. From looking at social media many are outraged of New York’s celebration of taking the lives of innocent children. As I am typing this to you an average of 1.3 lives are lost to abortion every second. That is about 80 babies every single minute. This is to the tune of 115,000 babies every single day that is taken by abortion.
To make you aware this is not the only state that has such laws. Here are others on this chart at the below link: (keep in mind that this link is a research arm of the abortion industry itself)

Viability can differ throughout states. If you haven’t seen the movie, Gosnell. I highly recommend you watch this film. It will show you the reality of abortion and what is going on behind closed doors. I think it is the time that we all unveil the reality of abortion. Then take steps on making in unthinkable in our time. It is time for us to rise up to the multi-million dollar industry. The multi-million dollar industry that is profiting off of vulnerable women in a time when they need someone to show the deepest love, TRUTH, and compassion. What they do not need is an industry who is profiting off of their decision telling them they are better off if they take the life of their child. Let’s speak to the mother they are and becoming rather than speak down and highlight their fears.
The one honest question we all need to ask ourselves is whether that which is in the womb is human. I think most of us know but how do we even talk about it. Touting gory signs and screaming murderer is truly not the answer. Not only are these women and men being victimized so are the abortion workers. I would bet many of them as children did not twirl around and say, “I want to be an abortion worker when I grow up.”
It wasn’t until a year in as Executive Director did I see the reality of abortion in a couple of ways. I read a book called, Unplanned by Abby Johnson. Which is coming out as a movie this spring. This was the first unveiling in my own life about the reality of abortion and those who work in the industry itself. My heart is for the women and men that feel they have no choice and show them that they have places like our Pregnancy Resource Center. They will know that they have a community of people that love them and is here to help not just during the pregnancy but after birth as well. My heart is also for the women and men that didn’t find us first. That ended up making that abortion decision. I pray that they find Centers like ours that will help them find healing from their past abortion. Healing that comes from our Heavenly Father that His grace is sufficient for all of us.
Let me encourage you to not sit back and stay silent on this issue. Let me encourage you to get involved in a loving and compassionate way to help. Here are just a few ways you can help:
You can volunteer your time.
You can become a monthly partner to help sustain the ministry that is coming alongside women, men and their precious baby in such a difficult time.
You can pray. Prayer is changing things! Pray that eyes will continue to be opened to the reality of abortion.
Many people say, “Abortion is such a complex issue, and there just aren’t easy answers.” The hope is that every follower of Christ and every church leader will see how the gospel comes to bear on abortion. This isn’t a left or right thing. This is a gospel passion, to speak clearly and stand boldly against abortion, both in our country and around the world.
Many of us know what the bible says but what about science when the world doesn’t want to listen to what we know in our hearts to be true. Below you can download the guide to talk about such things from a science perspective.
From my heart to yours don’t let this heartbreak of the reality of abortion die. Join arms with us and together we make our vision statement a beautiful ripple effect in our community and many others.
