From Research to Redemption: Vitae’s Exploration of Abortion Healing 

A crucial aspect of Vitae’s mission is to find more effective ways to communicate with women seeking emotional healing from past abortion decisions. Recognizing that the journey toward healing is deeply personal, Vitae uses research to develop messages that best resonate with the diverse experiences of women.

The goal is to understand the psychological dynamics that explain why certain messages empower women to choose life and why others do not. Vitae aims to share the findings of this important research with existing abortion healing organizations in order for them to more effectively reach the women and families who need healing.

Friends, today, Vitae Foundation, along with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (SBA) and Thomas More Society (TMS) took a stand against the abortion industry by filing an amicus brief in the State of Missouri at the Cole County Courthouse.

Death by Delivery

Abortion advocates will go to great lengths to promote the culture of death.

A non-profit out of Minnesota, Just the Pill, has made it their mission to deliver dangerous abortion pills to vulnerable women in the center of the country. Initially, they acted as a brick-and-mortar dispensary for abortion pills, but recently expanded their “services” to include delivery.

In a recent interview, “Medical” Director for Just the Pill Julie Amaon justified her motivation to deliver dangerous abortion pills. “[When I worked at Planned Parenthood] we were always getting calls from patients at the clinic asking, ‘Do I really have to come in for this?’ Or comments like, ‘I don’t need counseling, can I just pick up my pills?’”

Walgreens and CVS to begin dispensing lethal abortion pills

On January 3rd, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved a regulatory change which allows retail pharmacies to now dispense the dangerous abortion drug regimen of Mifepristone and Misoprostol to customers with a prescription.

The abortion pill, Mifepristone (also known as RU-486), was first approved by the FDA in 2000. During that time, the drug was regulated under the REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) protocol. This protocol is reserved for drugs that according to the FDA have “serious risks that may otherwise not be approved and available on the market.” ¹ and joins 56 other drugs of 20,000 approved prescription agents.²

Abortion Tourism is on the Rise

Tourism is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “the practice of traveling for recreation.” When someone talks about tourism, we might think of gathering up the family into a van and traveling to white sandy beaches for a week of rest and relaxation. If that’s what women are expecting, they are in for a surprise.

Abortion tourism is the act of traveling out of your home state in order to obtain an abortion. What women aren’t being told is to expect physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma which could (and likely will) last a lifetime.

Extreme Bill Makes Minnesota One of the Most Pro-Abortion States in the U.S.

On January 31st, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed into law a bill which enshrines a “right” to abortion in state law, allowing abortions up to birth for any reason.
