Baby Bottle Campaign Update

We had a great response to the campaign this year! We have raised $9,449.00!! We are so close to reaching our goal of $10,000, thanks to you!

We still have some bottles to collect so if you, your church or business has not turned in your bottles, please bring them by the PRC!

We are open Monday thru Thursday from 10:00 am - 5pm.

Church results will be released in our next newsletter!

A special thank you to the businesses who displayed a baby bottle and collected funds for us! Silvan Wellness, Mavericks, Grand Pain Specialist, Trail Riders Motel, Mary's Mountain Cookies, My Cabin Mexican Restaurant, Fitch Ranch, Java Lava Café, Kopy Kat, Holly Wood Computer Company, Honey Candy, Simple Coffee, Grand Mountain Trading Company, High Country Motor, Bowerbird's Den.

Our top three fundraisers are:

1st place Mavericks - $55.07

2nd place Grand Pain Specialist - $47.94

3rd place Trail Riders Motel - $31.23

Mavericks also wins the most creative collection of funds. They used their baby bottle as a "swear jar" for their bar. Every swear word cost a dollar, and they swore enough to fund a lifesaving ultrasound!

Thank you all for your support and fundraising! You make a difference and positively impact our community!

Working Together to Move Mountains!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.- Phil 4:13

Years ago I was waiting at a red light. There, from my vantage point, I could see the intersection ahead and to my horror I saw a child’s head roll underneath a car! I could tell by the dazed look of those wandering near the car they could not see where the child was. I jumped out of my car and ran to the scene.

As I raced to the intersection, I ran to the other side of the car not knowing what I would find. There I saw a three-year-old boy wedged under the car. I knew I had to lift the car off the child to move him to safety. I remembered stories I had heard of superhuman strength in times of need, so I bent down and whispered, “Lord help me move this” as I began lifting the car. To my surprise it was as light as a feather and went right up! I heard voices and glanced to my left and to my right and saw that I was not alone, several bystanders had come forward and helped me lift the car!

I was then able to pull the child out and began CPR. I yelled to the bystanders to call 911 and asked someone to come help the mother who had gone into shock. As help arrived the little boy began breathing on his own. He and his mother were transported to the hospital via ambulance. She was able to be with him up until he breathed his last breath a few hours later. Tragically, his injuries were too severe for him to survive.

When I reflect on this experience many lessons come to my mind, but one that stands out to me is how God used a group of strangers to move a mountain that day.

At PRC, we often encounter tragic situations where "a car needs to be lifted" so we can pull someone to a safe place. We recently met a young pregnant mother who came to us out of desperation for support. The father of the baby is refusing to support her during this pregnancy. This has left her in a vulnerable situation as she has no insurance, transportation, or financial stability. Through the collaboration of several PRC volunteers, our medical team and a local church we have been able to get her started with free prenatal care and groceries. There are still some financial needs that need to be met for extended lab work. We are praying for a mountain to be moved to save this baby!

Did you know?

While we continue to wait for updates in the litigation process in the Bella Health and Castle Rock Women’s Health care cases (click here for updates), the supreme court has made a ruling on the use of mail order abortion drugs.

The U.S Supreme Court has ruled that pro-life physicians challenging the FDA’s removal of safety standards for the abortion drug mifepristone do not have standing, preserving access to the drug absent adequate medical oversight.

The Court’s released its unanimous ruling Thursday in the combined cases of FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and Danco Laboratories LLC v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine.

The decision centers on the plaintiffs’ standing rather than the merits of their argument because the federal government had changed its position on conscience protections, conceding that doctors do have federal conscience protections even in emergency situations. The government’s recognition of conscience for doctors nullified the pro-life doctors’ standing in the case.

While the ruling is a disappointment for pro-life supporters because of safety issues with chemical abortion drugs, the affirmation of conscience protections is a noteworthy positive outcome. And further, with three states having intervened in the matter in district court it is expected that litigation will continue with a different argument of standing than in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine.
