Abortion is not a bandaid that you can slap on deeper rooted issues like poverty. “Just choose life” is not a solution either. If we want a cultural change around abortion, we need to be ready with the tangible support women need to choose life.

Hey everyone, it’s Emily! I am so moved by my conversation with Ana, a past mom we helped. At 34, she found herself at a dead end, facing an unexpected pregnancy while ending a difficult relationship. It’s a story of isolation that many women face, but it leads to an incredible God moment! You have to hear how the Lord reached out to her, and how scrolling on social media connected her to Let Them Live. I don’t want to give it all away, but her journey of finding strength to choose a different future for her daughter is something you need to hear in her own words.

Everyone deserves a birthday. 🎂 Today is my birthday, and I’m thinking about the babies waiting to be born. Because of difficult circumstances, many mothers fear they cannot provide the life their children deserve. In these moments, abortion often feels like the only path forward. Right now, there is a mom named “Raylynn” who reached out to Let Them Live for help. After losing her job due to an illness, she is facing the terrifying reality of homelessness. Out of fear, she scheduled an abortion on March 19th. For my birthday this year, all I ask for is that we help this mom become financially secure so she is confident in choosing life for her precious baby. This is why I founded Let Them Live, to help moms choose life. Please use the link to donate today! 🩷 Help me save a life, and celebrate another birthday when her baby is born. donate.letthemlive.org/page/…

Hey guys! This was such a good conversation with my guest Bekah Hayden.

9 in 10 women having an abortion say the father knew about the pregnancy and 8 in 10 said he supported the decision. This is a really big problem. Anyone can make a baby but real men protect what they create.

Now let’s apply this same time and energy to help women confidently choose life. washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…

If our best solution to an unplanned pregnancy is abortion, then we have failed miserably

In this episode, I sit down with Claire Ward to talk about something many women struggle with.

Faith in action means showing up. Thankful for the conversation on Faith Chats with Andrew Brunet about how Let Them Live fills critical gaps in the pro-life movement.

Hey everyone, it’s Emily! I am so deeply moved by the conversation I’m sharing today with Katelyn Gregory. Katelyn is a true warrior who spent a season of her life in an incredibly dark place, navigating addiction and trauma that left her feeling completely alone. But just when she thought she had hit rock bottom, she received a beautiful, unexpected gift that gave her a reason to fight. Her journey is powerful testament to the fact that your current situation is not your final destination, and that God can turn our deepest moments of despair into a beautiful new beginning. I don't want to give away too many details because you really need to hear Katelyn tell her own story of how she found the strength to climb her way back up. It is such an emotional look at the transformative power of a child’s love and the God-given resilience we all have inside of us, even when we can’t see it yet. Tune in to hear how Katelyn’s life was completely transformed by her unplanned pregnancy! (link in bio) ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains content that may not be suitable for all listeners.

I was blessed with the opportunity to speak at the Jacksonville Pro-life Summit earlier this month! I love speaking with people about the life-saving work we do at @letthemliveorg It all started when my husband and I emptied our bank account to save one baby from abortion. Now, we’re a national pro-life organization that has helped moms in every state and even internationally! 💖 God is so good!

I’m honored to be speaking at the Florida March for the Preborn this coming Saturday morning, and at the Jacksonville Pro-Life Summit in the afternoon. The march will start at 135 W Monroe street at 10am, and the Summit is from 3 - 8pm at St. Joseph's Catholic Church.

Calling abortion “care” while offering nothing to address the pressures that drove her there in the first place isn’t compassion. It doesn’t solve the fear, the lack of support, the financial stress, or the isolation she’s facing. It simply ends a life and leaves a woman to carry the aftermath alone.

Make it make sense…

Compassion and conviction can coexist. And they should.

Christmas is the ultimate pro-life story. God didn’t send a political leader or a warrior to save the world—He sent a baby. Jesus entered the world in poverty, in a stable, to a mother who probably felt overwhelmed and afraid. Looking back at 2025, I am blown away by what God has done through this community to support life in its most vulnerable places. Because you chose to step up, there are moms waking up tomorrow morning with presents under their tree, with babies who will celebrate their very first Christmas! You were the answer to a desperate prayer. From our family to yours, thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. Merry Christmas!

Is abortion too complex to legislate? This article insists that it’s just too complicated, morally gray, and nuanced for us to create laws that protect unborn babies. What do you think?

The demand for abortion drops when we meet women where they are at, and provide real hope and support. This is how we’ve helped so many women choose life. Check out the online magazine solidforamerica.com for the full interview.
