Kay Kiefer is Executive Director of We Are Everywhere, a church-centered outreach to reach women who have been negatively impacted by abortion.
Kay shares her story of experiencing abortion as a Christian at age 19. Abortion seemed a way to avoid it all–fixing the problem of an unwanted pregnancy, disappointing her family and pursuing her plans. But she knew in her heart it was wrong. We discuss why it is wrong according to James 3:9 and Genesis 1:26 protecting the image bearers of God.
Having recovered in Christ, Kay is now one-hundred percent pro-life even in the hard and tragic cases of rape and incest. She says, “If we believe that every person is created intentionally by God in his image, this little person is also an image bearer of Christ, regardless of this child’s father, and what that father did. There isn’t another crime that I can think of where we execute the innocent for the crime of the father.” She stresses the importance of support and care as opposed to inflicting additional trauma.
We Are Everywhere has created an Open Letter to Pastors which is available as a free download. This resource lays out the problem for your pastor or church leader to deploy from the pulpit and in your church family.
The simple message that God forgives abortion could transform the faith and life of your church today.
Abortion is reproductive loss, and WAE is addressing healthcare professionals in the for need education and awareness, including a one-day conference in April in Fargo, ND. Details TBA.
