From Our C.E.O. ...In writing this letter, I find myself reflecting

on both the past and the future. It’s more noticeable today, as this day, Tuesday, November 8, 2016, will likely go down in history as one of the most important Presidential elections our nation has known. As I reflect on our country’s history, I wonder, how, we as a nation, got to where we are today? How did we come to be accepting of abortion at any stage? How did we ignore our Founding Father’s affirmation “… that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life…”? How did we come to decide that a life, with a beating heartbeat, inside a mother’s womb, having a unique DNA structure and central nervous system, is not a person?

By the time you receive this letter, the next leader of our great nation will have already been chosen. Like you, I’m concerned what that might mean from many different aspects. And, like many of you, I have spent many months in prayer – asking for God’s favor and healing that can only come from Him. While this Election Day is important, it will not change what we do at LaVie. We will wake up tomorrow, put on “the full armor of God” and be ready to be the light to many of our patients living in a dark and lonely world. In fact, it is that very light that LaVie has been shining in the Billings Community for the last 25 years.

While not every patient case we were involved with over the last 25 years ended how we had hoped, we can claim victory, in Jesus’ name, as we serve more and more patients each year, thus allowing us an opportunity to emulate the love of Jesus – particularly to abortion minded women. Regardless of who will be the next President, we will continue to bring hope to the broken- hearted, and provide truth through medical services and education, thereby empowering women. We will continue to proclaim that every life matters, and believe that every life is known by God before it

A Patient StoryAmy* was from a small town outside of the Billings area. She called to

schedule an appointment for an ultrasound as she already had a pregnancy test done at a local clinic in her town. At the time Amy made her appointment, she shared that she was considering an abortion. She is in her mid-20’s, working a minimum wage job, seemed to have reasonable support from her mom and from her boyfriend. Amy presented for her ultrasound. Her boyfriend, Paul, was with her; he’s quiet but present. The ultrasound revealed an early, viable pregnancy. At this early stage, the baby looks like a grain of rice. Because the baby is so small and is mostly all heart, the whole baby moves as the heart beats. When a woman is considering abortion, one never knows how she is going to respond to what she sees on the ultrasound. In Amy’s case, she exclaimed “There’s a heartbeat!” Seeing life does make a difference. It made a difference for Amy and her little one. Amy chose life for her baby that day.

It is such a blessing every day to have the ability to provide proof of life and share a window into truth for these women!
