How Funds Are Used
"I believe this has the potential to build a lasting culture of life in America — despite our present challenges." — Melinda Delahoyde
Here are just some of the ways that funds will be used to help Inspire Life...
Reach abortion-vulnerable women
TV and radio commercials roadside billboards, and internet ads invite women to contact Option Line.* They provide accurate answers and often connect women to nearby pregnancy centers. Amazingly, it only costs $3 to connect one woman! And the more women we reach, the more lives we save.
Serve women at pregnancy centers
Last year, more than 90% of the pregnant women who visited one of Care Net's pregnancy centers chose life. More than 14,000 made commitments to follow Christ, too. That's God-given progress — but we can grow even stronger. So we're providing extensive training to pregnancy center staff and volunteers, to improve the grace-based, compassionate support they offer.
Currently, 477 out of more than 1,100 pregnancy centers offer ultrasounds. We want to start by equipping at least 50 more of our pregnancy centers with ultrasound machines and training nurse specialists to use them.
Invade Planned Parenthood's metro "strongholds"
Did you know that 88% of women terminating pregnancies live in major metropolitan locations? Care Net's goal is to plant up to ten new pregnancy center ministries in these metro-abortion strongholds to compete with Planned Parenthood. Targeted cities include Seattle, Houston, Cincinnati, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C.
Inspire a New Generation to Protect and Cherish Life
The truth is that saving unborn lives is only half the battle. If we're ever going to restore the sanctity of life in America, we must go on the offense too. We need a culture-impacting strategy that changes hearts and minds . . . that demonstrates to the broadest possible audience — especially the next generation — that abortion is unacceptable because life is sacred.
The good news is that even publications like the New York Times admit that young people are increasingly pro-life. They are upset that 1/3 of their generation was callously aborted. We want to give them the right opportunities to put the values we all share into action.
