Hello.
Roland Warren here.
With the results of last night’s election
coming in, I wanted to take this opportunity
to share my thoughts and feelings with you.
While Hillary Clinton was clear in her pro-choice
stance, We are pleased that president-elect
Trump expressed pro-life views throughout
his campaign.
Now, it is time for him to fight to make those
views a reality.
Indeed, together we can hold him to the promises
he made.
We can voice our desires and give the Trump
Administration the support it is going to
need to fulfill its campaign promises.
What were those promises?
In September, Mr. Trump formed his pro-life
coalition, which was created to help carry
out his commitment to four pro-life positions.
They were:
Nominating pro-life justices to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Signing into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act, which would end painful late-term
abortions nationwide
Defunding Planned Parenthood as long as they
continue to perform abortions and reallocating
their funding to community health centers
that provide comprehensive health care for
women.
Making the Hyde Amendment permanent law to
protect taxpayers from having to pay for abortions.
This is a fantastic start.
As pro-life people and representatives of
pro-life organizations, let’s work with
the Trump Administration to make these promises
a reality.
Here are two things you can do, starting today.
Write president-elect Trump as a pro-life
person who appreciates the commitments he
made as a candidate, but who now expects those
commitments to become realities.
Contact your local congressional representative
and Senators to express your support for the
four items on Mr. Trump’s pro-life agenda.
Remember, the President only represents one
of the three branches of government.
We need to have the legislative branch engaged
in this fight, too.
While political engagement is important, I
want to pause for a moment to remember the
fact that we can’t just focus on changing
laws, but also on changing hearts.
While laws protecting religious freedom and
the lives of the unborn are certainly essential
to Care Net’s work, we also recognize that
if Roe V. Wade was overturned today, there
would still be unplanned pregnancies.
That is why the work of Care Net’s 1,100
affiliated pregnancy centers and our national
Pregnancy Decision Line hotline are so critical.
That’s also why our new Making Life Disciples
resource, which is designed to launch pregnancy
care ministries in churches is so critical
as well.
Women and men will always need compassion,
hope, and help when faced with an unplanned,
unexpected, or unexpectedly complicated pregnancy,
regardless of what the law says.
That is what we do.
We minister with truth and love to those who
need it, and regardless of who the president
is, this work must continue.
That is why I urge you to continue supporting
Care Net as the fight to save lives and build
strong families goes on.

Net’s life saving work today.
Indeed, the fight for the lives of the most
vulnerable among us continues.
Amen.
Until next time, may God bless you daily as
you serve
