A Valentine This Valentine's Day, you can change lives, hearts and souls forever by sending a compassionate ambassador into someone's world. It's not chocolate. It's not flowers. It doesn't come from Hallmark, but it comes from the heart. It comes in many forms. It's a rose message card left in a church, an office or a bus depot. It's a classified ad in your bulletin, a quarter-page newspaper ad run in a local publication, or a donation to support research, education and outreach that will reach thousands. Our compassionate series of healing ads and message cards can save babies and mothers. It can reach those already hurt and those still at risk. At the same time, it can help educate the public about abortion's risk to both the unborn and women. From pregnancy-related abuse, deception and homicide (the #1 killer of pregnant women) to post-abortion harm, heartbreak and death, including high suicide rates, the risk is real. In Massachusetts, an abortion clinic security guard testified that
testified that the biggest aggressors at abortion clinics were men
accompanying their wives or girlfriends. In some cases, these men were the woman's abusers ... angered that a pregnancy would expose their crime. You can help by sending one or a "bouquet" of cards, bookmarks, ads or flyers. Most of these materials feature a beautiful stained-glass rose to symbolize that - even though things will never be the same - God can restore broken lives, hearts and souls. This is a beautiful message to share on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or at any time throughout the year. |
