Dear Friend,

Earlier this month I emailed you about the latest review of published studies, showing abortion is linked to up to 10 percent of mental health problems in women. I told you how seven of those studies had been conducted by the Elliot Institute ... and how, with your help, we are winning the research battle.

I took a risk reporting such good news, since conventional fundraising wisdom says that donors respond better to bad news than to good news.

So I also told you that we needed your help because, even with only three staff members and a yearly budget of $125,000, we've been struggling to meet our financial obligations.

Even though the approximately 380 people who have given so far this year have been very generous, we need new donors so that we can finally balance our budget and expand our research and education efforts .

So I asked for your support to help pull us out of this slump and enable us to continue our research and education projects.

So far, we have raised just over $1000.00 from this email campaign, from 14 donors.

If you are one of those who responded, thank you very much! This quick response, along with the prayers and encouraging notes that we received from several supporters, is a great help.

But while the $1000.00 we've raised so far is a good start, we still have a long way to go.

If you haven't had a chance to give yet, please do so now -- and help confirm my faith that good news does, in fact, encourage people to respond and help us create even more good news.

Your donation will go to support projects like our newest research efforts (including two new studies that we are currently preparing for publication), and our petition drive to persuade Congress to hold hearings on abortion and mental health issues.

If you have never donated before . . . why not? Please let us know. Tell us what more we can do to earn your support.

Or better yet, go get your checkbook right now, or visit here to send us a donation today. Become part of our team, today. Together, we can make a difference.

Can you afford to make a single donation of $100, $200, $500, $1000, or even $5,000?

Or can you become one of our Sustaining Partners, donating $10, $20, or $50 per month, per quarter or twice a year?

Please be as generous as you can. And if you can’t donate, please pray that others can and will.

Sincerely yours for Life,

David C. Reardon, Ph.D.

Director
