Save the Storks

The right to life has always been vital to our country’s constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment of our constitution prohibits the states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The Declaration of Independence also states: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with […]

The Real Effects of Abortion on Mental Health
Save the Storks

Although abortion clinics present abortion as a quick and easy fix to end a woman’s pregnancy, this is far from the truth. Abortion is an invasive procedure that can leave a woman physically and emotionally affected for the rest of her life.

CEO Diane Ferraro’s Open Letter to CA Governor Newsom on Proposition 1
Diane

Governor Newsom,  Proposition 1 will be detrimental to women in California who deserve not shame and discouragement, but support, empowerment and encouragement when facing an unplanned pregnancy. When an ad campaign, paid by California taxpayers, targets women—notably in areas near universities and where minorities reside—you are telling women they are not capable of carrying a […]

Pregnancy centers provide real care and hope for women   By Brittany Smith   On Thursday, President Joe Biden issued a series of executive orders and policy changes on abortion — noting that through these initiatives he was focusing on healthcare.   On this so-called “healthcare day” he reversed The Mexico City Policy which prohibits federal funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that “perform or actively promote abortion as a method […]

The Church, Pro-Life and Abortion 
Save the Storks

How do we create a more pro-life church culture?  By Katie Doryland  When it comes to the issue of abortion, one would expect the church to have the loudest pro-life voice. Unfortunately, too many churches feel that pro-life discussions will produce a negative response from their congregation.   With such a strong biblical view on the sanctity of life, what is holding pastors back […]

Clearing up Criticism and Misconceptions Surrounding the Pro Life Meaning   By Katie Doryland  Pro-life supporters and pregnancy resource centers often get a bad rap in the news and in the culture at large.

There Is Redemption From Abortion Guilt
Save the Storks

Redemption – the Bible defines this as being saved from sin. This word appears in many forms in the NIV translation of the Bible 128 times. But, it has almost become a cliché. Even for believers, there is a sense of emptiness in the teachings of what we are truly redeemed from. We cannot truly […]

The Difference Between Being “Pro-Life” and “Anti-Abortion”
Save the Storks

In recent years, pro-choice activists have made a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, attempt to rebrand pro-life advocates as “anti-abortion.” Media outlets favorable to pro-choice views have begun consistently calling pro-life laws “anti-abortion” and increasingly refer to pro-life activists as simply “anti-abortion.” At first glance, this may not seem like a harmful label. The […]
