Editor's Note

 

We are very excited about the great response we've had so far to our Church Awareness Project. Thank you to everyone who's signed up so far. Read about the launch and find a link to join the project below.

 

Also, if your church or pro-life group is holding events for Respect Life Sunday in January, consider running our Signature Ad in your local newspaper. It's a great way to educate people that most abortions are unwanted and coerced and that abortion not only ends the life of an unborn child, but destroys all those involved. Invite your community to join you in advocating for life and for the mothers, fathers and families hurt by abortion!

Unwanted Abortion, Acceptance and Healing

 

In this excerpt from The Jericho Plan (available in the Church Leader's Kit), one woman shares her story of coerced abortion after rape and how she is healing from the pain of this experience.

 

In 1973 I became pregnant from a date rape. I had tried to hide it from my parents, but of course they found out. Then the pressure started. “How are you going to go to college with a baby?” “How are you going to support it?” “It is only a blob of blood. It’s not a baby yet.” Before I had time to think about what I wanted, the abortion was over.

Download the GoodSearch Toolbar
to Help Us During the Holidays


Nearly 50 people responded to our request for help by downloading the GoodSearch Toolbar last month. If you were one of them, thank you so much! And to all of our supporters, there's still time to help us out by downloading the toolbar in time for Christmas and other holiday shopping!

 

Here's how it works: Each time you use the GoodSearch toolbar to search or shop online (at more than 1,500 stores, from Amazon to Zazzle!), a donation will be made to the Elliot Institute.

 

It doesn't cost you anything to download the toolbar, and you can continue using your regular browser and other toolbars. We have earned nearly $200 from GoodSearch so far in 2010, all thanks to people who are simply doing the things they usually do online.

 

To download the GoodSearch toolbar:

 

1. Click http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/elliot-institute
2. Download the Elliot Institute toolbar
3. Click "Share With Friends" on our toolbar download page so that others can get involved! (Or, invite others to get involved by simply copying and sending this request to others you know.)

Thank you for your support!
