The circumstances leading to Ashley’s* pregnancy were awful. She was the victim of a heinous crime. Ashley found herself in a state of distress and unsupported.
It cannot be overstated that a preborn baby, no matter how he or she is conceived, is made in the image of God and deserving of blessing and protection. That baby’s mom deserves the same blessing and protection, too.
Through CompassCare, you provide every mom and her baby with the dignity, medical care, and support she needs to face her situation.
Thankfully, someone Ashley trusted knew about CompassCare. They invited her to visit a CompassCare office and even offered to go with her.
“If I am pregnant, I don’t really want an abortion.”
At CompassCare, Ashley told her nurse that she was very anxious—even petrified. Ashley didn’t know for certain if she was pregnant. With honesty Ashley said, “If I am pregnant, I don’t really want an abortion.”
Ashley was pregnant. The ultrasound revealed a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat. In that moment, Ashley’s countenance changed dramatically. Her fear seemed to melt away.
A smile. Then some tears.
In that exam room, Ashley also heard the good news of the Gospel and submitted her life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Ashley was able to receive hope in the midst of her tragedy. She is now excited to start this new chapter of life with her baby.
