A few weeks ago, I spoke in Atlanta to announce Human Coalition’s expansion there and our new partnership with City of Refuge, one of the finest, transformative inner-city ministries I’ve ever seen. It was an exciting evening spent with friends and partners, marking a new day for our cooperative lifesaving efforts in Georgia.
Our adventure in Atlanta officially kicked off on December 1. According to Human Coalition’s analysis, Atlanta is the seventh-most abortion-dense city in America. Human Coalition now operates a pro-life women’s care clinic in the downtown area, and it serves as the base of operations for our abortion-ending strategy. Our team has already reported to me a drastic increase in abortion-determined women coming into our clinic, seeking our help. Praise God!
As I think about how God continues to expand our work across the country, I am once again reminded how socially and spiritually destructive abortion is, and how we MUST be diligent to do as Scripture commands: “Deliver those who are being taken away to death, and those who are staggering to slaughter” (Proverbs 24:11 NASB).
In the context of abortion, we obviously think of its primary victim, the preborn baby, being carried away to slaughter. It is ironic that the pro-life movement is often criticized for “only caring about the baby.” The pro-life Church should make no apology for focusing on the baby, as almost 60 million of them have lost their lives to abortion since Roe v. Wade. It’s the greatest holocaust in American history. Do we criticize emergency rooms for ignoring patients in physical therapy? Do we condemn fire departments for not helping to rebuild houses destroyed by fire? Of course not. Emergency room personnel and our brave firefighters are focused on rescuing lives when we need them most. The pro-life movement is no different—we focus on the lives at risk of being murdered.
The #prolife Church should make no apology for focusing on the baby, as almost 60 million lost their lives since Roe v. Wade Share on XHowever, Human Coalition’s mission is to rescue children by compassionately serving their mothers. We are, in many ways, a transformative outreach for single, abandoned, rejected, pregnant moms. And our goal is to make abortion unthinkable and unavailable by making it unnecessary. We make it unnecessary by reaching more and more hurting women, and rescuing their children from abortion by bringing these women into our system of care.
Why are so many women in these dire circumstances? Because far too many men are selfish, arrogant, and immature. My gender has a long history of using women as we see fit, then turning on them and throwing them to the curb when they no longer serve us.
Human Coalition has served thousands of women over the past several years. And the majority of these women are not making an independent choice to have an abortion. They are pressured to abort by key relationships in their lives—oftentimes by a male: a husband, a boyfriend, a father.
It’s a pretty simple (and profoundly evil) pathway: a man uses a woman for his sexual pleasure, gets her pregnant, and then pressures her to abort her child… his child. He pressures her actively or passively. He may demand she get an abortion. Or she may ask him what he thinks she should do, and he gives a passive (and deadly) response: “I’ll support whatever you decide, babe.”
So while the pro-life Church is focused on rescuing the child from death, we do so through rescuing the mother. We do so by redefining manhood; encouraging men to be the warriors, protectors, and providers they are destined to be.
This is why a comprehensive abortion-ending solution is necessary. Our six-phase approach (which includes marketing outreach, our Contact Center, pro-life women’s care clinics and pregnancy centers, our Continuum of Care program, church outreach, and our legal team) addresses the child, mother, father, and Church. Planned Parenthood may have a massive budget and the media on its side; but Human Coalition is rescuing families from abortion at an ever-increasing pace, and growing in key cities across the country.
Very well stated. You can never go wrong when referring to the “Holy Bible.” God is at work with the Pro Life movement and trust in Him and good things will get done.
Thank you for the information and may the Lord be with you.

Thank you so much. This is a great perspective not explored by the thousands of women who could be pressured into aborting their baby. What a wonderful outreach. God bless your efforts!
I find your article to be offensive and misrepresenting the whole picture. Exactly what you are accusing a man of being and doing is what a woman did to a family member of mine. Women can be as selfish and manipulative as any man, sometimes more! I feel you are… Read more »
Hi Patty – I don’t think women are victims all the time. We have plenty of clients that come to our pro-life medical clinics who abort their children just because they don’t want children. Sometimes the grandmother is the coercive person in the abortion decision. Cultural selfishness and narcissism are… Read more »
I am sorry I missed your presentation in Atlanta. I am in the process of moving into the greater Atlanta area at Alvaton, Ga.
No problem, Al. Hope the move goes well!
I did see a young woman post about her crisis pregnancy and abortion on YouTube, and she wasn’t totally confident on her own about abortion, even though she and her boyfriend agreed on that solution if pregnancy occurred. But when it happened, she wasn’t so sure. But both her boyfriend… Read more »
dear Brian ~ Again, a thoughtful AND thought-provoking look at what our society thinks of as “a woman’s right” but in all Truth, it is many times the decision of other family members ~ quite often destroying the mother’s chance of loving her baby, leading to suicides, drug use, many… Read more »
It is not really surprising to read about these horrible number of abortions every day, when you think about what we and our chrildren are tought at school: The “Evolution Theory”, which is sold as the true origin of the world an the human life, reduces the value of a… Read more »
I feel the same way, they all need to read Psalm 130, but they need Jesus. How can I help
Right on! This must stop….women are definitely being exploited and it’s time to fight back!
When I pray a rosary I pray for an end to abortion throughout the whole world.
Hey! God bless you all, i am not in any way suporting abortion when i am asking the gollowing question: Is there a possibility that the abortion rates in Atlanta are one of the highest, because of human tracficking and sexuak slavery is also hapoening at a very high rate… Read more »
Karla – I don’t know for sure (there is very little research on the links between sex trafficking and abortion) but I suspect there is a direct connection. Anecdotally we know that pimps often bring the women they’ve enslaved to abortion clinics multiple times in order to “preserve their business.”… Read more »
May God bless your efforts to save these children who have wrongly been called Blobs of tissue. They don’t see them as human babies because of a selfish society that brainwashes women into thinking of them as a burden. Wow to them that call evil ,good & good, evil.
Brian, The choice to pursue an abortion will not be be eliminated by legislation. My grandmother’s life was prematurely ended over 80 years ago when my mother was only 5 years old due to an infection precipitated by a coat-hanger in an effort to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. The decision… Read more »
Thank you for this truthful article. I forwarded it on to friends and family and hope people will “wake up” to the ongoing abuse of women and the unborn children. May God continue to bless your hard work in this pro-life cause. Take care and Merry Christmas to you also.… Read more »
Sadly so true. Guilty, guilty, guilty. Selfish murderer, followed by a trail of tears. All the “if onlys” of the past hauntingly longing for that which cannot be. The bright light is that we are now destined to be the EMT’s and Firefighters of the today’s and tomorrow’s infants and… Read more »
I pray for our babies each day. I think it is horrible what these people are doing. I hope God has mercy on their souls. I know He will on those of the babies.
Brian you are exactly right, it is men who have been benefited from abortion. I was part of an abortion 34 years ago, and it was me who pressured my now wife to have an abortion because I could not be burdened with a child, nor did I want the… Read more »
Keep telling your story, Lawrence. I think post-abortive men have a powerful and important voice in our culture. You are a necessary piece of the puzzle as we work to make abortion unthinkable and unavailable.
What you are doing is profoundly important. If I had had this resource years ago, it may have saved my baby’s life. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t regret my decision…I just want to help as many people as I can, not to make the… Read more »
Amen!
I absolutely support your stance in convincing the men to take their place in the family. This will give a true sense of what God has built in them and they will have no doubt about their identity. This will have powerful effects on society and save many new lives… Read more »

Thank You Lord Jesus!
Yes I agree 100% with you on your position on abortion and men being taught to respect life opposing abortion and using women with respect. I really support you in your effort to increase educating men, especially Muslim men, on the responsibilities of family life. It is very discouraging to… Read more »
Actually, it’s about money (big surprise! I’ll bet you didn’t see that one coming!)
Finally someone has recognized the true beneficiary of this “women’s health” issue – the self-centered, irresponsible male partner who bears no burden from his self gratification. As a man who loves women I say this without reservation. Wake up, ladies. Make certain that you and your partner are thinking like… Read more »
This canard has been foisted on the public long enough. Thanks for your contribution.

I agree and support your efforts 100%. Jennifer

I say again, the one who benefits from abortion, is the devil, he puts these kind of things in people’s mind, but know this GOD LOVES U ,& HE will forgive you, if you repent, turn to GOD, & never do it again. It is MURDER, & the devil wants… Read more »

I will support you and your efforts through prayer. And once I have a flow of income I will support financially as the Lord leads.
Thanks Cheryl – I appreciate your prayers!
Planned Parenthood is killing babies every day. They must not be supported with money from the Federal government. They must not be functioning in the United States of America either. If a woman does not want to have babies, there are options for them. First, they can avoid sexual contacts… Read more »

I think that the acceptance of contraception inevitably led to abortion. Men were free to be more promiscuous and use women even more. Men became less and less responsible and then with the acceptance of abortion women were/are abused even more. Now the child is murdered and the woman is… Read more »
Amen

There is also another sinister motive behind the abortion issue, in my opinion. It involves the political/economic portion of the problem. What is it that abortion, homo-sex, and euthanasia all have in common? It has to do with population control. I remember, from a 1960’s high school science class, coming… Read more »
I fully agree with your aims and goals. My problem is your explanation is incomplete. Abortion is directly related to lesbian behavior as is most divorces and other modern maladies. Unless we focus on the effects of lesbian behavior, we are never going to make abortion unthinkable. I am not… Read more »
Hi Charles – not sure I understand your connection. A woman who aborts is (obviously) pregnant by a man and the baby is a result of a heterosexual union. Though I agree that any distortion of heterosexual marriage creates issues in a culture, I don’t see how your cause is… Read more »
Well written.Thank you.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Men need to know that they are responsible for the abortion Holocaust. Thank you for putting this in proper context.

In reading your blog today, I’m affected by its timing. We are all celebrating Christmas (that is, of course, celebrating the birth of Christ).

Yes…Only unless the mothers life is at stake or in distress and could lead to death…Otherwise abortion is unthinkable.
Good Job Brian!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
Wonderful article for all. Praise God for your work
Sure it is, it is a deliberate choice to hire an assassin to murder your baby.
