Jessica’s Story

The following story comes from Elizabeth’s New Life Center in Dayton, OH. 

We pulled up to the small white house to see a young woman sitting on the front porch with her head bent down, her hands pressed against her forehead. This was Jessica. She was several months pregnant and suffered from extreme anxiety, which had made it difficult for her to leave her house. She had been receiving care from a midwife who hadn’t been available to meet with her for some time. Becoming worried about the health of her baby, her anxiety heightened and she had become unable to leave her home in order to get to the doctors.

Early on, we formed a vision of using our unit to primarily reach college students, but we knew that God was taking us on a detour, which was leading us straight to Jessica. We decided we would drive to her house to perform an ultrasound for her.

I walked up to the front porch with a large grin, excited to meet my first client. Jessica shyly shook my hand and followed me towards the unit. As she stepped on, she smiled, leaving her anxiety at the door. She was happy that she could see her house from the van windows, while also receiving the privacy and care she would have had in a doctor’s office.

Her fears quickly subsided as she watched the ultrasound monitor, seeing her baby dance around in her womb. In that moment she knew that everything would be fine. We finished with measurements and I let her hear her baby’s heartbeat. She grinned from ear to ear as she listened to the rhythmic sounds of the life within her womb.

Witnessing this moment between Jessica and her child was an immense blessing and a beautiful reminder that the purpose of the Stork Bus is to meet the client where she’s at, even if it’s at her front door.

DEAR READER

We hope this article enlightened and inspired you to stand up for life.

Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are still prevalent in our nation. As a response to the overturning, the media: from the news to entertainment sources to even political figures and celebrities, have pushed abortion as an ongoing agenda, shaping the way this generation thinks and acts. Misinformation is being spread every day, and people are sadly believing the lies.

Our articles and stories aim to tell one thing: the truth.

We know that it is both a blessing and a challenge to understand the reality of abortion, because knowledge incites belief, and belief incites action. But we’re in this together. We believe that we can make abortion unthinkable.

With your support, we look forward to a future where young women are empowered to fight for their own rights: a right to bring life into the world, to be fearless leaders, to be examples of hope, strength, and undeterred resilience. We look forward to a future where life can happen.

If this article strengthened your belief to reach women everywhere with the truth and to let life happen, then please consider helping us extend our reach by making a gift right now. Your gift of just $10 or $20 helps our mission to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.

We aim to create a culture that views “pro-life” as equivalent to having empathy and compassion, providing holistic care (before and beyond pregnancy) and education, and most importantly, choosing to speak and act in love. We are pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, pro-solution.

Don’t just be part of the movement, be part of the solution, and give today.
