Roe v Wade Response Update
A Message From the Executive Director
Carrie Slaton, Executive Director
We have been hearing so much talk around the state of abortion in our country, I want to share with you how we at Next Step are responding to this.
Next Step Remains a Safe Place for Help and Healing
Since our inception in 1988 we have always been about caring for both the woman and child. As the political landscape shifts back and forth we remain steadfast. We continue to do what we have always done.
We provide a safe place for the woman facing an unexpected pregnancy to process everything she is thinking and feeling. We help her slow down and figure out for herself, without all the outside pressures, what is the right decision for her.
We meet her where she is, and offer her the grace, love and compassion that Jesus has offered each of us throughout our own journey.
Our Position on Abortion Laws and Politics
We at Next Step believe that the politics behind fighting abortion laws are a separate ministry calling, and we leave that part of the battle to those God has called to serve in that area of ministry.
God has called us to fulfill a specific mission, to empower women to make confident and healthy life choices as they face an unexpected pregnancy. In order to protect and fulfill our mission, we do not engage in political activism.
We do, however, belong to a national affiliate that monitors legislation, court decisions, and other issues that impact Pregnancy Centers. If you have questions or comments regarding the Dobbs case or any other case within the pro-life movement, you can contact NIFLA (National Institute of Family Life Advocates) at admin@nifla.org.
We Couldn’t Do This Without You!
Thank you for partnering with us on this journey. We are at a critical point in history, and it’s because of your faithful support of our ministry that we are able to support life, and continue being that safe place for the women in our community.
