Julia was just 16 years old when she moved in with a man eight years her senior. Her boyfriend threw her birth control pills off the balcony one night in a supposed testament to his love and commitment.

But when Julia became pregnant, the father changed his tune and became irate. He told her if she had the baby, he would kick her to the curb. Julia believed she had nowhere else to turn. She had dropped out of high school, didn’t have a job, and didn’t even know how to drive. She was at a loss, so at five months, she agreed to have an abortion.

“It took years to recover from that experience,” she said. “You know, sometimes we can think that coerced abortions only happen somewhere like China, where women are forced to undergo abortions against their will.”

“But the truth is that coerced abortions happen everywhere abortion is legal and a woman can become pregnant,” Julia continued. “And the first thing she has to do is defend her baby’s right to be born.”

Sixteen-year-old Kay’s abortion came at the coercion of her own mother. Kay wanted to have the child but said, “My resolve quickly dissolved in the face of my mother’s wrath.”

“She told me I was only thinking of myself — that I was being incredibly selfish,” Kay recounts. “What about the baby? I was too young to be a mother. What about my schooling? I wouldn’t be able to get a decent job if I didn’t graduate from high school. What about college? I’d resent the baby if I had to give up my dreams. What about my career? I wouldn’t be able to support the baby and myself. What about our family? My family’s prominence in our small East Coast town would be ruined.”

When Kay resisted killing her child, her mother told her she would kick her out of the house. Terrified of being abandoned to live on the streets, Kay succumbed to her mother’s murderous demands. The shame and agony of aborting her first child lasted for years.

Tonya, a former abortion worker, says she saw this kind of parental coercion all the time. Tonya says that underage girls would often tell her, “Yes, I am being forced to do this, and if I don’t, my parents will put me out or send me away.” When confronted, the parents would often lie to try to take the spotlight off themselves only to have their daughters say, “Yes, you are, Mama. I didn’t know that I was coming to an abortion clinic. I thought this was just a regular doctor’s appointment for my pregnancy.”

When Bobbie became pregnant at 17, the adult man she had been dating and her mother ganged up on her to abort her child. “I should have aborted you when I got pregnant too young. It ruined my life,” Bobbie remembers her mother screaming in a drunken rage. “I’m not raising your little bastard, and neither will you.”

Thankfully, Bobbie’s story has a happy ending. She refused to obey her mother or the man who impregnated her. Bobbie’s mother did kick her out. But her paternal grandmother took her in and saw her through the pregnancy. Bobbie’s daughter is now a happy, healthy, beautiful young lady, whose mother constantly reminds her just how precious she, and all life, is.

Nearly 2/3 of post-abortive women report that the baby’s father, her parents, or her employer coerced her to end the life of her unborn child.

But pro-life laws across the country are putting a stop to these murderous compelled abortions.

Arkansas had ZERO abortions last year, down from an average of 3,200 abortions a year, thanks to pro-life laws that went into effect after Roe was overturned.

West Virginia had only 16 abortions performed in the state last year, a 98% reduction from 2022, as a result of state pro-life laws.

Indiana experienced a 98% reduction in abortions in just the first quarter of 2024, thanks to new pro-life laws. Only 48 children were killed during that three-month period, compared to the 1,931 Indiana children killed in the first quarter of 2023.

Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation are working state by state and in Congress to UNDO the protections we have fought so hard to win for the unborn and their mothers.

Don’t let Planned Parenthood enable the coercion of even one more abortion. Fax Congress Now. Demand they VOTE NO on HR 12, the “Women’s Health Protection Act.”

Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation have funded deceptive ballot initiatives in states across the nation, seeking to save their bloody businesses by enshrining abortion on demand and throughout all nine months of pregnancy as a state constitutional right. In many of these states, the abortion promoters have been caught red handed committing election fraud in order to achieve their deadly aims. Liberty Counsel is litigating many of these cases, fighting for life as well as election integrity.

Melinda Gates, the ex-wife of eugenicist Bill Gates, has put up 1 billion dollars to promote abortion.

Liberty Counsel is battling the baby butchers on every front, state by state, in the halls of Congress, and in the courts.

The battle for LIFE is the single most important battle of our lifetime ... of any lifetime really. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” God’s declaration to Jeremiah was not limited to the prophet. As the Creator of all life, God knew ALL of us before we were formed in our mother’s wombs. And He knows each of the souls whose lives were robbed by the enemy before they took their first earthly breath.

We fought to have Roe v. Wade overturned. The Dobbs ruling is saving lives every single day.

Liberty Counsel is fighting this death-dealing madness. But we need your direct financial help to perform this lifesaving legal work. A special Challenge Grant has been established that will DOUBLE the impact of every donation made today. Please, support our legal fund so we can defend LIFE and LIBERTY.

Let us not be the generation that allows this victory to slip through our fingers. Let us not be the generation that robs future children of the opportunity to sing Psalm 139 praises to our Creator. Please, stand with us to protect LIFE.
