The Need for Save the Storks Every day in the United States, nearly 2,000 abortions take place. Women are told that being pro-choice is their "right and society gives the impression that "my body, my choice" equates to an abortion being the only option for women facing an unwanted pregnancy. According to the Center for Disease & Control/U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (2014): - Women in their twenties account for the majority of abortions. - Women with no previous live births accounted for 40.4% of abortions - Women with one or more previous live births accounted for 59.5% of abortions Other statistics: - One in three women in the United States will have an abortion before she turns 45 - 75% of women who have abortions live in poverty - 64% of women who have had abortions felt pressured by others to abort - 54% of women who have had abortions said they were unsure about their decision at the time - 79% of women reported that they did not receive counseling on other options - Post-abortive women report suicidal thoughts, anxiety and signs of PTSD - 73.8% of women experienced "pressure" to abort their babies - 58.3% chose abortion "to make others happy" Planned Parenthood receives over $1.3 billion in funding and donations annually, with $833 million from government revenue and health services. In addition to financial support from the United States government, the following corporations have contributed money directly to Planned Parenthood: - Allstate - American Express - Avon - Bank of America - Bath & Body Works - Charles Schwab - Craigslist - Dockers - Energizer - ExxonMobil - Frito Lay - General Electric - Jiffy Lube - Johnson & Johnson (brands include baby shampoo, lotion, and dozens of baby products) - Kraft Heinz - Microsoft - Mondelez International (Brands include children's favorite snacks: Chips Ahoy!, Oreo, Nabisco, Cadbury, Toblerone chocolate) The largest search engine in the world, Google, with over 3.5 billion searches a day, sponsored Planned Parenthood at the culturally relevant SXSW (South by Southwest) festival in Texas. Google repeatedly serves up favorable returns that depict abortions as a friendly, positive right. Verbiage on the results page for pro-choice mentions "top stories and "abortion-rights movement" with a photo of people smiling holding a sign. In contrast, the term "pro-life" in a Google search returns negative terminology such as "anti-abortion and "activist and images that portrays angry protestors. Guttmacher, the organization that bills itself as a "think tank" for women's reproductive rights, issued several misleading press releases in 2017 intended to sway public opinion and distract Americans from the truth about abortions: "Abortion Is a Common Experience for U.S. Women" (October 2017) "Many Abortion Restrictions Have No Rigorous Scientific Basis (May 2017) "Barriers to Abortion Care May Have Cumulative Negative Effects (April 2017) "Abortion Coverage Restrictions Affect Millions of Women (January 2017) The need is greater now than ever to come alongside abortion-vulnerable women in the United States who are continually bombarded with untruths and twisted facts from Planned Parenthood and other liberal-leaning corporations who position themselves as mainstream. Planned Parenthood spent millions supporting lobbyists and democrats in the 2016 elections and reportedly spends nearly $200 million a year on marketing and advertising. Save the Storks has helped save the lives of thousands of babies since 2010, when founder Joe Baker was volunteering for a pregnancy resource center in the Bronx. Inspired by an old van eq”

In just four months, this Stork Bus served 24 clients, and 16 of these clients chose life for their baby. . Stork Bus Testimonials November 2017 On a cold November morning our Stork Bus was parked outside the late term abortion clinic in New Mexico. The parking lot was full of out of town license plates. A truck pulled in with Colorado plates. A young girl got out of the car with an older couple. They all looked scared and confused. The spoke with someone from the PRC there on the sidewalk and agreed to come over and talk with the staff on the bus before their abortion appointment. We welcomed them in to the warm bus and asked them to tell us their story. The young girl (Missy) was pregnant and in her second trimester. Missy was a 15 years old high school sophomore. She was with her parents. They had taken her to Mexico to get an ultrasound and now were here in New Mexico for her abortion. She began to share how scared she was about being pregnant. She said she wanted to finish high school. Missy also shared that the baby's Dad wasn't involved. As she talked she relaxed a little and began to smile as the staff asked questions. One of the staff members asked if she could share her experience with the family and they said yes. The staff member shared that she had just retired after 30 years as an Engineer . But 40 years ago she was facing the same decision as Missy. She was 15 and pregnant. She kept her baby and went to a school for pregnant teens. She went to college and had had a good career and an amazing family. She shared about her children and grandchildren she had because of that choice. She told Missy "It won't be easy but it will be amazing." Missy and her parents were encouraged and asked a lot of questions about school and pregnancy. The staff also began to show the family information about fetal development and what Missy's baby was doing at that moment. Missy shared that she had seen the baby sucking its thumb during her Ultrasound in Mexico. Missy's parent told her they would chose life for their grandchild but it was her decision. Missy said she wanted to keep the baby and stay in school but she was nervous about the baby not having a father figure. When she said that, her Dad came over and took her hand and said I will be that man in your child's life. She began to cry (so did some of the staff). Missy said "I want to keep the baby". Her parents were very excited. We all prayed together then we gave the family contact information for local pregnancy centers in their area so they would have support when they got home. They thanked the staff and advocates and began their long trip home. God has a purpose and a plan. He put the right people in the right place so Missy could hear what she needed to hear to choose life. July 2017 "July" is a 28 y”
