Mother's Day Outreach
A holistic and evidence-based message. Educate, encourage and save lives -- often two at a time.
 Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13, 2013.
It can be a bittersweet day for those facing coerced, forced or deceptively sold abortions, and those quietly grieving in abortion's heartbreaking aftermath. Mother's Day can be a reminder of lost children, broken hearts, lives and souls, and lost motherhood.
Some -- especially young or otherwise vulnerable women, men and families -- are literally traumatized and heartbroken. Some are looking for help before or after an abortion. Others may feel regret, shame and grief, and some may even be at risk of suicide. Still other families have lost a daughter, sister or friend, before, during or after abortion.

There is much quiet pressure and heartbreak facing individuals who are at risk or already hurting. This Mother's Day you can educate and reach out to individuals and families directly or indirectly at risk of or scarred by abortion.
