It may feel as though conversations about pro life vs pro choice are hard to navigate because it is so politicized and polarizing. But at Save the Storks, we define pro life not as a political issue but a personal one which we are all gifted with the responsibility of caring for and protecting.
We’re offering some resources for you to approach the topic of life and choice with a compassionate, non-political tone to help you to speak to those who are pro choice, facing an unplanned pregnancy, or who have had an abortion in their past.
1. Start Course
The Start Course is a FREE, 2 ½ hour video course that will equip your church to reach and serve women in an unplanned pregnancy. Think of it as a first-aid course for pro-life ministry! Perfect for individuals or groups, this course will equip your church with what to say and how to help a woman feel empowered to choose life.

Save the Storks produces high quality personal testimonies, documentaries and dialogue surrounding pro-life expression in America. We’ve highlighted our top picks for you to include in your service at no cost. These stories show why women felt like abortion was their only choice due to lifestyle, pressure, abuse, homelessness.
