God knows what he's doing. Every baby is planned. It may be unplanned by the mom, but every baby is planned and a baby is not a sin. A baby is a miracle.

Well that is truly a pro-life attitude and you'll hear more from our guest Amy Ford

on today's edition of Focus on the Family. Thanks for joining us, your host is focus president,

and author Jim Daly, and I'm John Fuller.

John, when you consider the fact that a baby is created in the image of God,

it's easy to see Amy's point. Every baby is a miracle and that

makes it all the more important for each one of us to get involved in the pro-life

movement. You might not have time to volunteer at your local pregnancy center or attend the

March for Life in Washington, D.C. But can you give an encouraging word to a pregnant

girl? Can you be a friend? That's the challenge that Amy has for us today. Amy Ford is the co-founder and president of Embrace Grace, which provides curriculum and support to church-based ministries serving young women with

unplanned pregnancies. What a place to show up and you'll hear how Amy got involved in

the pro-life movement as she begins her story.

And here now is Amy Ford speaking at our all-staffed chapel gathering on today's focus on the family.

you know, the enemy lies to you and tells you

like the worst case scenario that can possibly happen

and I believed all of it.

I was going to be homeless.

You know, my parents were going to hate me, all of the things.

And so we, me and my baby daddy, we scheduled the abortion appointment.
