To awaken hearts and minds so we can truly understand the consequences of our choices and how those choices effect the plan for our lives.
Our Belief:We believe that "women" should have the right to know. She deserves and should demand the right to be given ALL the information necessary to make a truly informed choice when it comes to the final decision of abortion.
We believe abortion is an adult decision that will have life long consequences. The seeker of an abortion should have the maturity to understand all of the risks and consequences of their choice.
We believe abortion should not shield the crime of rape against an eleven year old girl. Any girl under 17 years old could be the victim of a rape as she is not of legal age to consent to sex.
We believe that "women" have lost their unique position as life-givers through legalized abortion.
We believe that human life begins in the womb on the day of conception.
We believe that human life is to be nurtured and respected both inside and outside the womb.

Many women who have had abortions feel that they had no other options. They often felt alone, and in some instances, pressured into making the decision. In Illinois, we are given more information about a tooth extraction than we are about the 'simple procedure' of abortion. At one point the Allen Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood's research arm, stated that "43% of women in America will have at least one abortion by age 45." The number is staggering, since for some it becomes a final decision that leaves them unable to conceive again. Abortion also increases a woman's risk for breast cancer and early menopause. Other risks associated with abortion include: blood clots in the uterus, infection of the uterus, hemorrhaging, injury to the cervix, injury to the uterus and other internal organs, incomplete procedure, failure to end the pregnancy, allergic reaction and death.
Hundreds of thousands of women have been hurt by abortion, long after the procedure. Yet, many think they are alone, that their problems are unique to them. While the physical affects can be immediate. The long-term affects develop and multiply over a lifetime, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. Their mental anguish and guilt leads them to troubled relationships and low self-esteem. These women are longing for help, but they don't know where to turn. Too many continue to suffer in silence. They can't begin the healing process because they are either in denial or they don't recognize the connection between their pain and the problems in their lives. There is no set way that one is healed because we all have different journeys; the healing process can be different for everyone. Our mission is to provide hope by communicating that forgiveness and healing are possible.

Pro-abortion organizations acknowledge that up to 10% of women who have had abortions may have serious psychiatric aftermath. If the abortion toll in our country is more than forty million, it is mind-boggling to think that over four million women are suffering with serious psychiatric issues. Yet, there is no program or research for these women the get the help they need. In comparison, two million women are now living with diagnosed breast cancer and 929,985 Americans are currently diagnosed with AIDS. Research is being done in these areas. Why is there no public outcry and research to help these millions of women? Women who are suffering are being swept under the rug because this is a political hot potato. Women deserve better.

We laugh, and giggle and play our way to healing as we become Daddy's Little Girls.
Parental Consent is Our Right it's NOT a Choice!Imagine for a moment that your thirteen-year-old daughter becomes pregnant and goes to an abortion clinic and receives a 'simple procedure.' No one is required by law to inform you of your child's decision. You have no legal recourse to know what happened to your child or if she was a victim of abuse. That same daughter grows up with all the depression and hopelessness that come from her 'legal' choice. She gets married and wants to start a family. However, because of her 'choice,' she is never able to have children again. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to guide our next generation. So they may have a chance at a future with minimal consequences from the actions of their youth.
