    Every single day, abortion providers stand with young people, women, and their families to ensure access to safe medical care – care that 1 in 3 women will need in her lifetime.

    Unfortunately, many abortion providers continue to face significant risks, including harassment, stalking, threats to family members, and even violence.  Despite these risks, they continue to stand with us and provide care.

    In 1996, March 10th was declared National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, to honor and celebrate the people who risk so much to ensure access to safe reproductive health care.  Advocates for Youth is honored to stand with these brave and caring professionals.

    Join us in showing your appreciation.  Take a picture of yourself holding one of the signs above and then send to Julia@advocatesforyouth.org by Sunday March 10th.*

    We will be delivering cards and books of your submissions to local abortion providers – to show them how much we appreciate their bravery and commitment.  Help us get the word out  - share this blog, and tweet it so we can share more thanks!

      Even though you don’t see me, know that I stand with you. No woman or young girl aught to be forced to give birth. Childrearing ought to be s time of joy, not one of fear, trepidation, anxiety.
      Thank you!

        “forced to give birth”??? just so you know, abortion oriented women who ended up choosing life 100% don’t regret their choice (that is actually scientific fact) abortion oriented women who killed their children, MOST of them regret so there is something to it

      You are heroes each and every day. Thank you for your bravery and your perseverance. ALL women have a constitutional right to choice!

      It’s just too bad that the aborted baby cannot take a picture with one of the above signs to show these amazing people how much they have done for their personal lives.

      How disgusting to celebrate “brave” people who end babies’ lives on a daily basis. We should instead celebrate the courageous women who find themselves in difficult circumstances and choose to give their child, their own flesh and blood, a chance at life.

      These days my mother would have been offered an abortion when she got rubella in the first trimester – and taken it. Instead she had me. Not blind, deaf and brain-damaged. But WHAT A RISK. She should have had been offered and taken that abortion and had another baby instead of me, without risking the appalling life that so nearly happened to me.

      I don’t think that the world would have been immeasurably poorer without me. If I had not been born my mother would have had another child instead – so me being here prevented that man/woman from coming into the world and making their contribution.

      One desperately ill or unwanted child not being carried to term is not a tragedy. The world is not short of children with unfulfilled potential – making it better for those who are born is more important.

        Well I am sorry you don’t value your life but some people do and they would like to have the choice to be born.

      At the end of the day, though, the abortion profession is no laughing matter. We know that many abortionists are traumatized by what they do on a daily basis. While all physician’s offices end the day by taking out the trash, it is the abortionist who goes home at night unable to escape images of the tiny, beautiful, lifeless humans that he spent his day filling the trash and bio-hazardous waste with. This is what sets abortionists apart from all other physicians. Abortionists may have one day of appreciation every year, but for us, every day is dedicated to prayer and work for their conversion.
