Thank You United States Senator Joe Manchin for Standing Against Taxpayer Funding for Abortion
Senator Joe Manchin stood as the sole Democrat and the deciding vote to save the Hyde amendment in the federal budget that was passed late Tuesday, August 10. The Hyde Amendment stops taxpayer funding of abortion through Medicaid and has been a key target of the pro-abortion movement ever since President Biden took office.
As history shows us, when government subsidizes a service or product, the use of that service goes up, and it is no different with abortion.
This courageous stand by Senator Manchin ensures that abortion providers, like Planned Parenthood, won’t profit further off underprivileged women who already feel that abortion is their only option. Instead of coercing women into abortion through federal funding, we should work to ensure that every woman receives love and support during an unexpected pregnancy.
Pregnancy help organizations provide this compassionate support and real options to women in need.
We thank Senator Manchin for standing with the 58% of Americans who oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.

Shashana and Attikus
Shashana’s Story
Attikus—2015
Shashana, already a single mom, became pregnant. The man she was dating didn’t want to have any more children and pushed her to have an abortion. Knowing the father would not be around, Shashana gave in, visiting Planned Parenthood and taking the first abortion pill.
After she took the first pill, she sobbed. Regretting her decision, she called the Planned Parenthood clinic for help, but they told her nothing could be done and she needed to take the second pill.
Determined for a solution, she read online that reversing the abortion pill was possible! After calling Heartbeat’s Abortion Pill Rescue Network, she was connected with a pregnancy help center. Shashana then met with a doctor in the community and began the reversal protocol.
That was almost four years ago. Thanks to her diligence, the pregnancy center, and the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, Shashana has a happy, healthy son named Attikus, a strong relationship with her mother, and works as a nanny which allows her to take her children to work.
Sarah and Isaiah
Sarah’s Story
Isaiah—January 11, 2019
A single mother of three, Sarah was 26 when she discovered she was pregnant with her fourth. When she told the baby’s father she was pregnant, he was adamant that she have an abortion and she surrendered to the pressure of the moment.
Five weeks into her pregnancy, a heartbeat was detected on ultrasound, but all Sarah could hear was the father’s urge to “take care of this.” She took the first drug in the chemical abortion regimen, then returned home and cried. “I couldn’t look at my other three children in the face without breaking down and telling myself this baby deserves love just as much as these three in front of me,” she said.
Sarah searched the internet for ways to undo the effects of the pill she had taken. She called Heartbeat’s Abortion Pill Rescue Network and found a doctor nearby who could begin the reversal treatment.
“I wanted to try whatever I could to reverse the worst decision I had made,” Sarah said.
By the next week, her baby had a strong heartbeat and her doctor was confident in the process. Sarah gave birth to a healthy son named Isaiah and said “I have never been more grounded in my faith, nor blessed.”
Where are they now?
