I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we thank You for the many pregnancy resource centers around the nation. We pray that You would protect them from all attacks and that You would continue to use them to save lives.

The media is attacking pregnancy centers, calling them manipulative and harmful. However, according to the author of this article, a mother who took advantage of the services provided by her local pregnancy resource center, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

From The Federalist. After leaving home at 17, I was sleeping on beaches and in people’s truck beds, thinking I was making it on my own.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

Penniless, phoneless, and not even having an ID because I’d left it all at home in my stand for independence, I eventually found someone to take me in. Unfortunately, it connected me with some bad people and fueled my use of alcohol and drugs. …

I was shocked when a drug dealer I knew demanded I take a pregnancy test. A blurry night when I blacked out in his car and woke up at the house where I was staying came to mind. I was even more shocked when the pregnancy test was positive.

The dealer insisted I get an abortion, saying, “I am not going to go to jail for this.” …

… I ended up turning to an abortion facility for help. I genuinely thought they helped parents and pregnant women. I soon learned that is not the case. …

When I began to have some spotting, I decided to look up “free ultrasounds near me,” and that’s when I found the Community Pregnancy Clinic in Sarasota. …

When I later went in for the ultrasound appointment, a woman at the clinic sat with me for an hour and a half, letting me talk about everything that had happened. She wasn’t judgmental at all. In fact, she even prayed over me. …

When I was ready, she took me back for the ultrasound, and as soon as I heard the heartbeat, I knew I couldn’t give up on this baby.

After that, the center called me every week to check on me. …

They would offer to drive supplies to me if I couldn’t pick it up on my own. …

Their support wasn’t just material either. The woman at the clinic encouraged me to finish high school, and with her support, I finished my junior and senior classes in one year, graduating a year earlier than my peers. The center even offered to help me find a job and fill out insurance paperwork. …

The claim that pregnancy resource centers manipulate and abandon women is so hurtful because the people there were the only ones who did not abandon me. …

… Young women in similar situations deserve to know that their world will not be destroyed if they have a baby; it will keep spinning, and it is better than you can imagine.

Thank You LORD for Your Pregnancy Centers who stand for Life. They offer Your love & support for Mothers and their unborn children free of charge. They minister support in so many other ways, like Post- Abortion counseling for women emotionally struggling with the guilt & pain of past abortions. They assist women with medical care and parenting skills, adoption options if desired, baby clothes, diapers, and the list goes on and on. So what kind of support does Planned Parenthood offer them ? Nothing they do is free of charge.

Sadly, the left’s rabid attacks on pro-life centers only affirm their alignment with Sanger’s original motivation for depopulation of undesirables. We know they strategically place their killing clinics in America’s inner cities. No one with integrity opposes encouraging a mother to keep her baby, while providing life-sustaining resources for them. Praying for these centers to multiply throughout America and receive abundant funding from the Church of Yeshua, who deeply loves all the little children being saved!
