The Indiana Department of Health issued the 2022 Terminated Pregnancy Report which disclosed that 9,529 abortions were performed in Indiana while there were functioning free-standing abortion facilities within the state.

Those former abortion centers now function as abortion referral facilities for abortionists. 

Naturally, we mourn the tragic deaths of the 9,529 babies that died by abortion in 2022 (the most recent stats available by the State of Indiana).

But we rejoice for the lives that have been saved through a compassionate pro-life presence at work through prayer and sidewalk counseling efforts.

Pro-life hope and help must be offered to women who are facing crisis pregnancies. The most logical place to have compassionate pro-life volunteers is on the sidewalks in front of an abortion referral center.

For this reason, our official Scripture verse reminds us that while we labor with grief for the babies and women harmed by abortion, we rejoice for the lives and families that are being saved through pro-life compassion; Compassion demonstrated through faithful intercessory prayer, and practical assistance.
