The Unique Need for an African American Abortion Recovery Program with Sylvia Blakely
African American women have a unique experience with the abortion industry.
About 50% of African American pregnancies end in abortion. In New York City, more Black babies are aborted than born alive.
Why is that?
When we consider the history of how African American women have been treated, we can grasp the complexity of the generational curse.
Sylvia Blakely, herself post-abortive (as I am), recently published an abortion recovery program specifically for African American women…
But it’s a $5 ebook we should all read.
African American history is American history that we all need to discern and discuss.
Let’s break the curse and abortion-proof our children.

Abuse & Coercion
Because the media focuses on women’s choice, we often forget just how influential men are on her choice.
Baby daddies are the #1 influence!
Unfortunately, that means that physically and verbally abusive men often coerce women into aborting their babies.
So on today’s episode, Arlene Lehmann, author of Healing Hidden Bruises: How to Recover from the Trauma of Domestic Abuse and Coerced Abortion, joins me to bring awareness of coerced abortions and the role of church leaders and Christian counselors in leading women to healing.

What If We've Been Wrong? Part 2—Dr. Nathanson Disproved His Own Saying
Dr. Nathanson, once known as the Abortion King, was a driving force in the legalization of abortion. He started a saying we often hear from the pro-abortion side today, but after the Roe v Wade decision, Dr. Nathanson asked himself, "What if we've been wrong?"
This episode references Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) and Dr. Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011) and NARAL, which is now Reproductive Freedom for All.

What If We've Been Wrong Part 1—David & Bathsheba & Uriah
What if we've been wrong? When we hear "David and Bathsheba," we think of a story of adultery. What if the David and Bathsheba story is less about adultery and more about how David killed an innocent life to cover up unplanned pregnancy?

2 Sam 23:34, 39 Uriah & Eliam were among The Mighty Men

Pro-Abortion Amendments—and looking ahead to ballot measures in 2025
11 pro abortion state amendments were on the ballot in 10 states. But life won in only 2 of them—South Dakota and Florida. And we praise God for every victory! But we lost in 8 states. So why did we lose?
Let's talk about why prayers go unanswered, cut through the slanted news, and consider how to take action against future pro-abortion ballot measures in states like New Jersey and Virginia in 2025.

Pray! over 10 pro-abortion ballot measures
We are less than a week away from elections, and we have 10 states with pro-abortion ballot measures.
Even though some of these states are already pro-abortion states, they want to amend their state constitutions to codify abortion. That makes it more difficult for them to become a pro-life state in the future.
Other states are pro-life states, but these ballot measures, if passed, would change their state from a pro-life state into a pro-abortion state.
So let's review these ballot measures and pray for the people of each of these 10 states—Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Florida, Maryland, and New York.
Pray and vote!

Pray! before elections
We have elections in just under two weeks, and we have a candidate who will allow most abortions but is against late-term abortions, and we have a candidate who wants no restrictions whatsoever.
It's a sad state of affairs for the future of our country, for we are aborting our future.
So what are we going to do about it? Will we wait until after elections to apologize to God for going astray? What are we waiting for? I'm wearing black today because I feel like I am in mourning.
If we want things to change, we need to vote and to pray. Today's episode includes 2 prayers. Let's pray together.

Sing! to break chains and open doors
Sing, sing, my friends! In the last episode, we talked about the power of praise and worship before, during and after every battle (2 Chron 20:1-30). Today let’s talk how singing praise music breaks chains and opens doors (based on Acts 16:12-34). But we also need to distinguish praise songs from other Christian music. Worship pastor Andrew Towler will again help with this teaching.

How to Battle in this Spiritual War
Abortion is spiritual warfare. Need a strategy for reaching women? for fundraising? for getting through political season? personal life tests?
Because all scripture is useful for teaching and training, we go to scripture for strategy on how to battle in this spiritual war. Worship pastor Andrew Towler helps us understand English translations of Hebrew words.

Where is Your Hope?
I hate politics, and I hate the news! But it's political season, and the United States will once again show its heart in November. Where does former President Donald Trump and the Republican party stand on abortion? Where do we put our hope to save babies and families from the horrors of abortion?

Pro-Choice Narrative vs Spiritual Effects of Abortion
While VP Kamala Harris uses an abortion-related death from 2022 to justify abortion to birth, she and the media neglect to tell you that an average of 4.3 women died each year during the 49-year reign of Roe v Wade.
But I’ll take it further—Abortion not only kills babies, it kills the souls of the women and men who choose it. We not only lose the baby to this world, but we also lose the abundant lives God intends for all of us on earth. I provide Bible verses to show this truth.

In the video version, I showed images from After the Abortion Photography Series by Angela Forker. (http://aftertheabortion.com/cheryl/)
