“I never heard of this (Save the Storks). What a great idea. I have no idea what goes on inside an abortion clinic. I thought there was counseling, ultra sounds & etc for the mother to make a choice for herself.” Dennise “I am donating to this wonderful life saving organization. God Bless it and…

“I’d like to share something that I’ve never told anyone before.” Nearly every time I speak at a church, someone approaches me after the service with some variation of that statement, followed by the story of their abortion.

It was a single careless night. New Year’s Eve to be exact. I already had one child. I was still trying to grow up and figure myself out. It was inconvenient, I wasn’t prepared, I was terrified, I couldn’t see any other option. I easily bought into the lie. It fit my perceived impetuous need…
Sometimes I wish my job was something simple—a job in which I could see the finished product every time, a job that I could leave at work, a job that didn’t exhaust me emotionally every day. But that’s the nature of working at a pregnancy resource center. At the end of the day, no matter…
Abby drove toward the abortion clinic for the second time in four months. How could this be happening again?

I think I literally pinched myself. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Allie was standing in front of me—her eyes were bloodshot and her hands were shaking. She was pregnant. How did I feel? I felt proud. I was definitely afraid, but there was also an overwhelming sense of pride. I was a dad….
