Why Provide Life-affirming Support?
“When I think back on the reasons that convinced me that termination was the only path, and I compare my wild imagination of how life would be to how life has been, I realize it was such a foolish and immature mistake. My children are the greatest gift, and none were conceived at “The perfect time”.
“I am a part of a club no one looks forward to being a part of. I am part of the one in four women who has chosen to have an abortion. Of course the decision to bring life into the world is a big one. I just wish I had known then what I know now. I wonder if things would be different if I had, and I can’t help but want to share this perspective.”

Unintended pregnancy often leads to
termination feeling like the only option.
One in four women report having an abortion.
Think of the four women closest to you. Your mother? Your sister? Your partner? Your daughter? Your best friend?
Think of your friends, your co-workers, your acquaintances from church.
Would you want anyone of them to feel alone or unsupported at a time like this?
We are here to listen, offer hope, tangible support, and real resources.
No judgement. No ultimatums.

When Support is Lacking Young Women Feel Forced to Take Matters Into Their Own Hands.
When compassionate, practical support is absent, young women inexperienced vulnerable often turn inward and handle life-altering decisions alone. With abortion pills increasingly accessible, dorm rooms can quietly become the setting for private, pressured choices made without medical counsel, pastoral care, or emotional support. The issue is not secrecy alone—it is isolation. Where support is missing, crisis fills the void.
In 2023, medication abortions accounted for 63% of all abortions provided within the formal U.S. health system. This represents a significant increase from 53% in 2020 and 39% in 2017.
This procedure is sometimes much more traumatic that expected or explained.
The number of calls to the Abortion Pill Rescue Network for information on how to reverse the effects of the abortion pill has grown by more than 100% in the last five years.

Beyond the Crisis…
Beyond medical and financial realities, many women describe a sense of emotional complexity after abortion. Even in the cases that this never escalates to depression or substance use, there can be subtle echoes: feelings of loss, doubt of self-worth, resentment, or a sense that they have gone against their own deeply held values or beliefs.
This can show up in subtle ways – a hesitance to say “the word”, discomfort driving down the street of the clinic, or an unfulfilled desire for forgiveness. How do we make sure that our sisters and brothers or our children and mothers are not facing these feelings alone?

The Pro-Abundant Life Solution
In John 10:10, Jesus said, “I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.” This promise extends to all life—born and preborn. In Scripture, two Greek words help us understand his meaning: bios, referring to biological life, and Zoe, the spiritual, flourishing life God desires for every person. Being pro-abundant life is more than a phrase. It is a posture—a compassionate, holistic way of responding to women and couples facing complex pregnancy decisions. The abundant life perspective widens the traditional pro-life lens. It recognizes that families need more than encouragement; they need practical support and spiritual restoration.
True and lasting change comes when we embrace the fullness of the Great Commission—making disciples—as the lived expression of the Great Commandment: to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Pro-abundant life means meeting needs, healing hearts, and walking with families so that every life has the opportunity to thrive—not just survive.
