What It Means to Be Pro-life in Canada
In Canada, on the surface, the landscape looks bleak. Most Canadians don’t want to think about abortion. But that’s not the end of the story.
5 Reasons Why Christians Must Speak for the Unborn
Our ministry’s core mission is baked into our name: we believe that Christians must speak for the unborn. But why are we so fundamentally convinced of that truth?
Here are five reasons.
The Ancient Church and Abortion: The Witness of Basil of Caesarea
The stance taken by Basil with regard to abortion is yet another facet of the compassion and concern he exhibited on this occasion during the winter of 368-369 and at other times during his life. This stance emanated from a genuine concern for the life of the unborn child and, as such, remains both a model and a challenge for the Church at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
My Unborn Son’s Heartbeat and the Christian’s Own New Heart
I got to listen to my own unborn son’s heartbeat last week. We first saw him in a dimly lit ultrasound room at our local women’s hospital. I’ve seen lots of friends’ ultrasounds and always marveled at God’s beautiful creation, but this time it was different. This was our son. This was his little head, […]
I Was Counseled to Abort, But God Helped Me Choose Life: Part 2
(To read part 1 of Christin’s story, click here.) Mauricio and I understood that both my son and daughter, equally, were being woven together by the Lord, that He loved them immeasurably, and that He had a plan for both of them. We knew that God could do a miracle and save our son if […]

Comforting Rachel: How the Christmas Story Helps Us Respond to Abortion
Two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, Mary rejoiced that her baby boy had come into the world. As angels sang and shepherds spread the news of Jesus’ entrance into our world, it seemed like nothing could ruin this joyous night. But a horrible scene unfolded soon after Jesus’ birth. Mary and Joseph […]
Trusting God When Our Plans Are Different from His
My ideas have rarely coincided with the Lord’s plans. I had dreams of how my life would turn out and did everything I could to make them happen. Some things went as I had hoped, but then life started to unravel. Mistakes, medical issues, and unforeseen problems came up, leaving me bewildered and frustrated. This […]
I’m Pro-Life Because I’m Pro-Gospel
Recently, I witnessed a travesty. In the wake of the killings of George Floyd, well-intentioned pastors gathered at Atlanta’s state capitol to lament his death and speak out against injustice. Sadly, not one pastor shared the gospel. Not one. No one mentioned Jesus is our only hope. No one mentioned the cross. No one spoke […]
