As the crow flies—or donkey treads—it’s about 70 miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem. What do you suppose Mary, pregnant with Jesus, thought as they slowly traveled to be counted in the census, one small family among the vast Roman empire? Of all the inconvenient times . . . !

For most women who come to Care Net, pregnancy is inconvenient. Finances are usually fragile. Unlike Mary’s, their relationships may be fragile, too.

When Mary and Joseph finally arrived in Bethlehem, what did they hear?

“Sorry, no room here.”

When her pregnancy test is positive, a woman sometimes finds no welcome at home. She may find only coercion to stop inconveniencing the relationship or embarrassing the family and just get an abortion—order the pills online or go to another state. There’s no shortage of abortion websites that will help her get around the law.

But women who come to Care Net find welcome here. We always have room for them in our hearts and lives. Their worries, fears and questions are safe with us. We are here to meet them with love, compassion, honest information and material support to give them courage to choose life. Since we began offering ultrasounds in 2006, more than 1,438 babies have been given life by mothers who first met their little ones via that miraculous technology.

During this season of giving and gratitude, please join us in helping women choose life by making a gift to our annual Holiday Appeal. May God bless you!
