Sanctity of Human Life Month 2023
January is Sanctity of Human Life Month! After Roe v. Wade’s reversal and the outlawing of abortion in Tennessee, we recognize that the sanctity of human life remains the same. In fact, we are still seeing God save babies as we minister to women who plan to travel to another state to obtain an abortion. Below are resources to assist you as you speak to your congregation about topics like the sanctity of life, abortion, or after-abortion healing. To request a free Birth Choice speaker for your church, call Tiffany at 731-453-8159 or email tiffany@birthchoice.us.
Spread the Word – Birth Choice’s Biggest Need
Pastors and church leaders, would you be willing to go a step further and announce to your congregation that we are in need of several volunteers? Our schedule has several gaps, meaning we are not serving as many clients as we could. We need to train 20 Client Advocates and 13 medical personnel for our Jackson, Gibson County, and Mobile Clinic locations. Our Client Advocates have the incredible opportunity to help women facing unplanned pregnancies who come to our clinics for help. They share the gospel, educate our clients on life-affirming options for their pregnancies, and share the truth about the child in the womb. Our medical personnel perform our free pregnancy testing and ultrasounds that introduce women to the precious babies in their wombs. All volunteers must be godly, Christian women with a passion for the preborn and helping other women in unplanned pregnancy situations. Medical personnel must hold an RN or RDMS degree. If you know of anyone interested, please email tiffany@birthchoice.us or call 731-453-8159.

Tips on Talking About Life Issues
- Don’t be afraid of controversy. Speak truth!
- Be sensitive and line your message with Christ’s grace and forgiveness. According to Care Net, four out of 10 women were regularly attending church at the time of their abortion. You may have someone in your congregation who feels shame and guilt for a past abortion. Be sure to mention our after-abortion healing Bible study.
- When using numbers and statistics, use real-world examples to compare them so they make sense to your audience.
- Stay informed. Educate yourself. Click on the links below to learn more about the abortion issue.
