In January 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion. Roe was reversed on June 24, 2022. We predicted in 2018 that reversing Roe would not stop abortion but rather force it to move online via tele-abortionists or concentrate it in abortion hub states like NY. That has happened. And CompassCare was prepared. Together through 2022, we expanded infrastructure to serve more women in-person in abortion hub cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. And we also built a telemedicine platform, called TeleCare, to reach and serve women before they travel or have the deadly chemical coat hangers mailed to their homes all while being firebombed, censored, and attacked by pro-abortion politicians.

The struggle to protect women and preborn babies from abortion is far from over. Abortion numbers continue to tick up 1-2% per year as new theatres of battle have opened in the war to save human life, threatening women, preborn babies, pro-life pregnancy centers, and Christians who believe that all people are made in the image of God and are therefore equally valuable, without qualification.

God is interested in saving people. Thankfully, people are also very interested in being saved whether or not they admit it. The problem is that most people turn to anything and anyone but God in their pursuit. We think salvation can be found in medicine, a higher standard of living, more knowledge, or a relationship. “But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Prov. 18:24b). When a woman faces unplanned pregnancy, she is tempted, like all of us, to exhaust all the worldly means at her disposal in order to solve what she views as a problem pregnancy. But the world does not have the solution. The world stands ready to sell her the only tools it has to offer: fear it calls wisdom, isolation it calls independence, and death it calls choice.
