Hi Timor, I appreciate you so much! You are giving babies like Shana’s a chance. When I heard her story, I knew I had to share it with you. It’s just one example of how God is using your compassion and love for life to rescue mothers and their babies from the pain of abortion through our Option Ultrasound program. Option Ultrasound is a donor-funded program that equips pregnancy medical centers with ultrasound machines and nurses’ sonography training to introduce mothers considering abortion to the child growing in their womb. Shana was pregnant and set on getting an abortion when she walked by a pregnancy medical center equipped with an ultrasound machine made possible by friends like you. She glanced at the sign offering free ultrasounds. One of the workers happened to be outside and saw Shana’s glance. She raced to catch up with the young woman. “Do you need a pregnancy test?” she asked. “No, I just need information on an abortion,” Shana replied. The expectant mom agreed to a free ultrasound and stepped into the pregnancy medical center — and that’s where she met her child. Shana saw an active, fully formed baby bouncing around and rubbing its face with its hands on the screen. Shana couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She said, “Oh my, it’s a baby!” Right then, Shana changed her mind. Instead of abortion, she decided to make an adoption plan. The pregnancy medical center helped her make arrangements. For many women like Shana, one look at the precious life growing inside of them is all it takes to soften their hearts and choose life. According to our research, more than 54% of abortion-minded women who receive counseling and an ultrasound choose life. With the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion now becomes a state matter, and the opportunity for mothers considering abortion to see the life growing inside of them is more critical than ever. Shana’s baby had a chance to live because of friends like you. You not only saved the baby’s life, but you also saved Shana from making a mistake that would haunt her for the rest of her life. Timor, thank you again for saving the baby and mom through your compassionate support. Jim Daly *Name in the story changed to protect identity. |
