12% More American Women Are Choosing Life

For You From The Word

Victory is won through many advisers. (Proverbs 11:14, NIV)

For You To Think About

newborn babyA recent Associated Press survey showed a decrease in abortions of about 12% across the U.S. since 2010.

Forty-eight states report more women are choosing life than five years ago.

Multiple factors have contributed to the trend:

  • Expanded access contraceptive education and use
  • A shift in societal attitudes, including more women choosing to carry unplanned pregnancies to term
  • More restrictive abortion laws
  • A decline in teen pregnancy rates
  • Increasing numbers of pregnancy ultrasounds

Victory is won through many channels working together.

For You To Pray

Gracious Father,
Thank you for the victories won in the battle for life. Strengthen those who are working in a variety of ways as they encourage women to choose life. Affirm their work. Let it continue.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
