- [I am Dawn!](https://prolifems.org/i-am-dawn/): There are moments in life that feel like divine appointments—moments when God’s hand is so evident that you know He is orchestrating every detail.
- [God Answers Prayers](https://prolifems.org/god-answers-prayers/): I have been working for Pro-Life Mississippi since 2008 as their office manager. A few months back, after being sick for a while, I prayed and asked God if I should start thinking about retiring early to stay home and take care of my grandchildren. I asked God to give me a sign.
- [Prenatal Diagnosis? There is Hope.](https://prolifems.org/prenatal-diagnosis-there-is-hope/): Christi shares her story of her daughter EmmyLou. Christi’s pregnancy journey with a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis and how she and her husband found hope and strength.   In July 2017 I went in for a routine 20-week prenatal check and sonogram. This was my fourth pregnancy so I knew the routine, but I knew something was wrong when the sonographer said, “The doctor will be with you soon.” Ugh… My mind was scrambling because my first three pregnancies were perfect and had no complications at all. “Maybe the sonographer just needs to double-check herself???” “I am sure she didn’t see […]

- [But What About the Thousands of Children Already in Foster Care?](https://prolifems.org/but-what-about-the-thousands-of-children-already-in-foster-care/): All of these are common Pro-Abortion rebuttals to Pro-Lifers. They claim that Pro-Lifers don’t really care about children because they aren’t concerned with those that are poor and/or come from broken families and are in foster care.
- [Are There Rare Cases When an Abortion Is Justified?](https://prolifems.org/are-there-rare-cases-when-an-abortion-is-justified/): This excuse for allowing abortion sounds reasonable. If the pregnancy is threatening the mother’s life, it would seem that lethal force —an abortion —would be a permissible form of self-defense. The child is not really “attacking” the mother, but his presence puts her at risk. It sounds like a good argument, but it simply isn’t true.
- [When Does Life Begin?](https://prolifems.org/when-does-life-begin/): Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her.

We’ve met here today to talk about Dr. McMillan’s life and the testimony of how she went from abortionist to Pro-Life Activist. Dr. McMillan has served as both president and vice president of Pro-Life Mississippi over the years, shared her testimony at numerous events, and counseled women on the sidewalk outside of Jackson’s last remaining abortion clinic. But she didn’t start out as pro-life or a Christian.
- [What’s Really Going on at Missouri’s Last Abortion Clinic?](https://prolifems.org/whats-really-going-on-at-missouris-last-abortion-clinic/): There has been a lot of hype over the past month about the fate of Missouri’s last abortion clinic.
- [But What About Human Rights?](https://prolifems.org/but-what-about-human-rights/): Previously, we discussed that the abortion debate boils down to the question of, “Who gets rights?” The Pro-Life side asserts the fundamental right to life for all; the Pro-Abortion side claims that a woman's (person’s) right to bodily autonomy is greater than a fetus’s (“non-persons”) right to life.)
- [But What About Personhood?](https://prolifems.org/but-what-about-personhood/): The abortion debate hinges upon the issue of “rights.” Proponents of abortion claim to advocate women’s rights- the right to bodily autonomy. Pro-Life individuals point to the intrinsic right to life of every individual.
- [PLM shares a letter received by one of our volunteers](https://prolifems.org/plm-shares-a-letter-received-by-one-of-our-volunteers/): I want to share a very personal story with you, it’s not an easy thing but I feel it’s time to allow myself to use my story in a positive way. This morning as I sit with a heavy heart, shame that can’t be measured, tears flow, and prayer it’s been 34 years. I was forced 34 years ago today to have an abortion.

Penal Farm doing a Bible study for inmates there. After studying one evening a few weeks ago William (names in the story have been changed) asked if I knew Doug standing there with him. “He has been with you out at the abortion clinic.”    I admitted that I didn’t recall him. He reminded me. “I and my girlfriend were headed into the abortion clinic and you confronted me. Asked me what I was doing. Challenged me a bit. Sent me to a nearby restaurant with a friend of yours.”
- [Katie Semple’s Testomony given at Jackson First](https://prolifems.org/katie-semples-testomony-given-at-jackson-first/): I met LaTonia in mid-February outside the abortion clinic in Jackson. When I told her about the support available to her, should she choose life, she listened closely and began to ask specific questions about how we could help her. I could see that her heart was soft and that she felt convicted about what she was about to do, so I gave her my number and pleaded with her to turn away and to let us walk with her through the difficulties ahead. A few minutes after she drove away, she called me to tell me that she had decided to keep her baby and ‘accept our help.
