Heartbeat International’s Babies Go to Congress campaign may be the most powerful Pro-Life event on Capitol Hill, especially during this pivotal election year. Just imagine your lawmakers meeting with women who chose life at our pregnancy centers! After all, who can turn away smiling mothers, with happy babies in hand, who share their stories of the love and support they found at their local pregnancy help center? (Watch the videos below.) With your support, Heartbeat International will continue to send mothers and babies to Washington, D.C., every year to make a stand for life. Help us send more babies to Congress today!
"I was finally welcomed with open arms."
No woman should ever feel so alone, so coerced, or so hopeless that she ends her child's life through abortion. But that is just how Jada Cooper felt nine years ago. Now she is telling her story to members of Congress this week! She was homeless, jobless, hopeless, and pregnant. Seeking help for housing, she was turned away from almost every shelter in St. Louis. Then Jada found Heartbeat affiliate Our Lady's Inn maternity home.
"I was expecting another, 'Sorry ma'am, we are full', but Mary (from Our Lady's Inn) instead asked if I could bring my belongings right away, because there was a vacancy. I was relieved to know that a door wasn't closed. I began to prepare for the birth of my new baby boy at Our Lady's Inn. I was finally welcomed with open arms, not rejection. Our Lady's Inn helped me to become more self-sufficient through their humble acts of love.
Now, I am a full-time college student at the University of Missouri Saint Louis working on my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts with a Minor in Psychology, Minor in Sociology and a Certificate of Public Relations. My son and I are here because of the many humble acts of love and support from Our Lady's Inn."
