Whenever the subject of abortion comes up, we will likely hear someone say that he or she believes in the “right to choose,” as if somehow Thomas Jefferson penned something in the Constitution that all of us missed.

We are not allowed to choose to yell “fire” in a crowded theatre, nor may we choose to drive our car through the front door of another's home. Choice has its limits and one day perhaps we as a society will see those limits when it comes to innocent human life.

As this debate continues in the halls of Congress and in the courts, we at are reminded that we are—believe it or not—a ministry of “choice.” We believe in choice, and it does us well to remember the choices we believe are vital to this outreach.

We choose to love

Love is a choice we make every day here, because we believe that loving our clients is a way to create a safe atmosphere so that they can make the best decisions for them and the children they are carrying. Love matters, and ultimately, love never fails.

We choose the truth

Our society often runs from truth in the name of tolerance, but truth—cradled in the arms of love—is a life-changer for someone being tossed about by the winds of an emotional hurricane of hurt, rejection and anger. All of us need to hear the soft whisper of truth; it calms the storm.

We choose faithfulness

Faithfulness is a journey, carrying on when some grow weary or frustrated. In a ministry such as hours it is easy to become discouraged at times. That is why we hold fast to faithfulness, knowing that God is faithful to us in so many ways—and He never leaves us alone.

We believe in choice—and these three choices are a catalyst as hearts are touched and lives are saved, one at a time.
