Holiday Appeal

Every baby is a gift from God.

Every single one.

A well known pro-life advocate said this about a recent volatile court case:

“For decades, the defense of abortion has depended on shifting the moral center of the story away from the human being who dies and toward the human being experiencing the crisis.”

In other words, away from the innocent baby and toward only the mother. The very existence of the baby becomes the rationale for his or her destruction. Abortionists’ pretend “compassion” for women hides a heart of stone.

At Care Net, we say no. Without qualification: no. A baby is a gift.

Every baby reminds us that God is the source of life itself. Every single person—you, me, every human being who’s ever lived—is made in His image and known to Him even before conception. And moms and dads are the way God chose for life to continue.

So Care Net surrounds everyone involved in pregnancy with true compassion, regardless of circumstance or challenge. First, the baby. Mom and dad. Brothers and sisters. Grandparents, like Lily’s mom—see Lily’s story below. God’s love is not limited, so neither is ours.

Please help us push back hard against fake compassion that isn’t compassion at all. Help us reach women before they reach for abortion—the “quick fix” with emotional, physical and spiritual consequences that never go away.

Help us shift “the moral center of the story” back where it belongs: baby and mother and father. Make your gift today using the form below or call (859) 431-9178.

Thank you, and may God bless you!

This is what your support accomplishes:

A couple months ago, a young woman—we’ll call her Lily—came to Care Net with her mom. She was pretty sure she was pregnant. She’d missed a cycle. The smell of food made her nauseous.

She was right. The ultrasound showed she was eight weeks along.

Our advocate explained she would be upfront about pregnancy, abortion and adoption—no sugarcoating. “I never want you to ask me why I didn’t tell you everything you needed to know,” she said.

As she described the reality of abortion, Lily’s mom interrupted again and again, doing what our advocate would not do: sugarcoat it. There in that room, in what appeared to be a new revelation, Lily learned her mom had had two abortions.

Before the appointment ended, Lily’s advocate was able to spend time alone with her and learned the ultrasound had been a much different kind of revelation. The heartbeat had amazed her. But she was still undecided. The baby’s father was excited but she didn’t see a future with him. Maybe abortion was the answer.

Her advocate asked to pray with her. “I don’t know how to pray,” Lily said. But she agreed, and our advocate asked God to guide her through the decision she had to make.

A week later, Lily returned with her mom. During that week, she had watched the video of her ultrasound over and over.

And she had decided to carry and parent her baby.

“She seemed a different person,” her advocate said. “She smiled and was very involved in the appointment. Her mom is now excited and shared her plans to help Lily and her grandchild.”

Before Lily left that day, she signed up for parenting classes. And her mom asked about our abortion recovery program.

This is what your support for life through the ministry of Care Net accomplishes, one woman, one baby at a time. Lives saved. Lives healed.
