PRAYER: Forced Abortion

Jan 16, 2026

Liberty Counsel is fighting to stop another forced abortion 
Urgent prayers are needed to save the unborn child from the grandparent who wants the child killed, in violation of their state law

Another teenage girl, located in a state where abortion is banned, is dangerously close to being forced to have an abortion she does not want. Liberty Counsel is fighting to protect her and her unborn child.

We need your urgent prayers and support to save this child.

As you pray, please consider supporting our legal fund, which enables us to perform this urgent legal work. A special Challenge Grant will DOUBLE the impact of your donation.

I cannot yet reveal much about this case, as we are still working to protect the girl and save her unborn child. We cannot jeopardize the situation by releasing too much information.

What I can tell you is this — the girl reached out to a crisis pregnancy center, which, in turn, called a local foundation that had heard of our success in saving a Florida teen from forced abortion in December. They contacted us immediately, and we are now fighting to save this new girl and her unborn child.

Nearly 70% of women who had an abortion were coerced or forced into killing their child.

Sometimes that pressure comes from boyfriends, unwilling to take responsibility for the life they helped create. But all too often, coercion comes from the parents, who mistakenly believe that eliminating an unplanned pregnancy will result in a better future, career, and opportunities for their daughters.

And some parents, sadly, force their daughters to kill their unborn children out of shame, to prevent the family name from being tarnished.

In cases like these, girls are threatened with being kicked out, cut off, and left homeless if they choose life for their child.

When parents force their teens to abort, they are signing up their daughters for a lifetime of agony.

The long-term effects of abortion on mothers are devastating.

  • A 2011 meta-analysis, which reviewed and summarized several studies, found that women who had an abortion were 59% more likely to have mental health problems compared to women who had not. 
  • A 2024 meta-analysis found that abortion is directly associated with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse. 
  • A 2025 study performed in Canada showed that women who have had abortions also have: 
  • An 81% greater risk of a psychiatric hospitalization. 
  • 157% greater risk of hospitalization for a substance use disorder. 
  • 116% greater risk of hospitalization for attempted suicide.

And of course, for the baby, the “long-term effect” is DEATH.

Save lives by supporting our legal fund today. Our work is ONLY possible because of your direct financial support.

EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS

In December, your support enabled us to save a Florida teen and her unborn child. The girl’s father had locked her in her room, booked a flight, and made an appointment with a Chicago-area Planned Parenthood that didn’t care that the girl was being forced into abortion against her will.

Then her father withdrew her from school and removed all of her communication devices to prevent her from alerting anyone who could stop his plan.

The girl escaped through a window, and we received the desperate call for help just before closing time on a Friday night. The abortion was scheduled for Monday morning. Our attorneys raced into action, alerting local authorities, taking measures to protect the girl and her child, and sending a demand letter to the father insisting he cancel the flight and abortion appointment, as well as stop making further derogatory comments as to what he would do with his daughter’s “dead baby.”

The Florida girl and her unborn child are now SAFE with family members who support her decision to choose life for her child. Please pray we are able to save this new girl and her child as well.

ONLY YOUR DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT allows Liberty Counsel to provide FREE legal assistance to people all over the country fighting to defend the right to life, religious freedom, and the natural family.

Liberty Counsel does not have a multimillion-dollar endowment or backing from pro-death billionaires. Instead, our clients, like the teenage girls mentioned above, rely on YOU, the faithful Liberty Counsel supporter, to ensure justice is done.

We have now won 40 cases at the U.S. Supreme Court that we argued or briefed, including having our powerful brief cited in the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

Liberty Counsel has been fighting for the right to life for over 36 years. But our lifesaving work is ONLY possibly because of YOUR generosity. Support our legal ministry now, and a special New Year Challenge Grant will DOUBLE the impact of your gift.

In His service,

Mat Staver
