Why We Support our Crisis Pregnancy Center

Here are just a few of the reason the Eagle Heights Faith Family supports our local pregnancy (SLS):

  • SLS services 1000 to 1200 clients every year.
  • The majority of SLS clients are between the ages of 18 and 24.
  • In 2009, just over 50% of the abortion-minded clients chose life for their babies.

In the United States alone, the richest country in the history of the world that spends $13 billion a year on pet food, there are 3,700 abortions a day and 1.2 million abortions every year. Since 1973 our country has aborted over 50 million little persons. Mark this: We have aborted around one-seventh of the population of our country, and the crisis of abortion is even more daunting when you consider that every year there are 42 million abortions world-wide.

What then can we do? What can you do? It is such a massive problem and we have so little control over laws and the personal decisions people make. The answer is simple. With God’s energy and strength, we must do what we can – with what we have –  where we are. Doing nothing is doing something, and it is the worst something we can do.

We don’t need to start a ministry because one already exists. What we can do is join those who are already making a difference and help them help mothers, fathers and unborn babies. SLS offers us that partnership opportunity and we should join them in serving our city.

Here are some websites that you can look at to be further educated about life and abortion. I  do however warn that the Abort73 website is very graphic.  I insist though that the images need to be seen to understand what is really going on. I’m convinced that one of the reasons so many people have abortions or don’t take the time to care about the abortion issue  is that they just don’t know the truth about what is really going. I’m not saying the truth is easy or makes life less difficult, but ignoring it must be a crime of its own kind that leads to greater crimes against God and people. Look prayerfully:

  1. Hello,
    I live in Laredo, TX and was wondering if I might be able to borrow this blog, giving you full credit of course, for a pregnancy center newsletter that I manage in our city. Thank you. Debbie
