Last month, pro-life advocate for children with Down syndrome Kurt Kondrich shared his story. Kondrich gave one of the closing speeches at the National Right to Life Convention in Charleston, South Carolina. Catholic Philly reports that as the proud father shared his story, many in the audience were moved to tears. Kondrich’s 16-year-old daughter, Chloe, […]
We love celebrating mothers and fathers. We would not be here without them and we look for every opportunity to celebrate all their hard work, love, kindness, and sacrifice. This summer we celebrated motherhood with the Pregnancy Resource Center in Tennessee who empowered Hannah to choose life for her daughter. Hannah’s story inspires us […]
Like most little girls, I imagined I’d be a mom when I grew up. The dream wasn’t lofty. It didn’t seem selfish or unattainable. It wasn’t like I wanted to be a princess, or the President. I just knew that being a mom was what I was called to do. Dolls, stuffed animals, pet cats […]
I read an article by a mother in Ohio who has a daughter with Down Syndrome. In it, she advocates for the right to abort a child diagnosed with Down Syndrome. There are several things she says that I appreciate and agree with, and one that I don’t. First – She declined amniocentesis because […]
Hannah radiates joy. It’s hard to imagine this beautiful young woman shooting heroin and high on other drugs just a year ago. Her life was so radically changed because of her pregnancy and through the love of Christ she received onboard The Pregnancy Center’s Stork Bus. I love stories. They’re powerful and no one can […]

For the past six months, she has served as the executive director of Iowa Right to Life where she has utilized her political experience to lobby at the capitol for pro-life laws. These would be impressive feats for anyone, but for Dixson, she […]
Kayley was 23. Her brother had recently passed away unexpectedly, the relationship she was in was falling apart, and having a child was the last thing on her mind. “The immediate shock of looking at a pregnancy test and seeing that it’s positive is, this has to be a mistake,” she says. “There’s no way.” […]
Police Officer Jesse Whitten and wife Ashley, former Save the Storks team members, share their personal testimony of connecting with a homeless woman and later adopting her baby.

Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, recently held a meeting regarding human rights in North Korea. She invited one defector to speak about the harrowing reality of life in North Korea. Ji Hyeon-A escaped to China but was caught and repatriated to North Korea. She was three months pregnant when she was […]
Last summer the world fixed its gaze on London, where the Great Ormond Street Hospital was allowed to determine the fate of little Charlie Gard, superseding his parents wishes. And even as we mourned with his parents, Chris and Connie, we hoped the one small consolation was these types of cases are rare. Until today. […]
Sometimes it feels like having a miscarriage is treated more like a bad case of the flu than the loss of a child. When I lost my baby, I was overwhelmed with thankfulness for those who gave meals, prayers, and encouragement. What I quickly realized, however, is that those who’ve never experienced this loss often […]
