The Value of Life

Something God is repeatedly bringing to me are women who are having pregnancy crises in India. The Lord is revealing to me how many girls have abortions here (I think it is higher than in the US). Pregnancy outside of wedlock in one of the most shameful things a young woman can do, most will be cut off completely from their families, and some even fear for their lives. Birth control is not common in India either so unwanted pregnancy happens all the time. Young women are scared and feel they have no other choice but the abort their babies. I have found myself in two different situations in the past couple months where girls have been faced with forced abortions and/or unbelievable pressure from others to get ride of the babies. One baby was saved only because Nick and I intervened and helped her get away, and one we lost to abortion. Please pray with me that God would intervene and stop this injustice! We need insight and wisdom into how to help these women and provide safe places for them to give birth.
