4 Myths about Voting this Election Season
We all know we should be voting, but is it really that important? After all, we’re not even picking the president this year.
The United States has a surprisingly low turnout of voters, hovering between 55 and 60 percent in any given election. Why can’t we find it in ourselves to get out there and vote our values? Could it be that we believe one or more of these myths?
There’s a lot of hype for presidential elections, but for some reason, midterm elections don’t seem to matter as much. Nothing could be further from the truth. As powerful as the Presidential office is, he can—ideally—do almost nothing without the support of the Senate and the House. (We saw a government shut down just last year due to House and Senate disagreements on the federal budget.) Do you know who is running for the Senate or House positions open in your state and district? What about the Gubernatorial or Mayoral races? These matter!
With all 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 Senate seats up for a vote, no one can deny the importance of this year’s races. In addition, 36 of the 50 states are electing governors, and many U.S. cities are electing mayors. Do you know who’s running in your district? These are the people who make the decisions that keep our local, state, and national governments running. We need to make sure they are the people who are going to truly care for the people—both in the womb and out of the womb.
We’ve heard this one before. Every vote matters. Every single vote matters. Every life changes the world in an unrepeatable and irreplaceable way. And so does every vote. If we stay home on Election Day, our prolife candidates will have to stay home too! What we do and don’t do makes a difference, so let’s make it a positive one.
Untrue! While certain regulations may apply to what your pregnancy help organization can do, you are well within your rights as an individual citizen to encourage those within your sphere of influence to head to the polls. There is everything to gain, and nothing to lose when we encourage our community to vote their values.
Don’t believe these myths this season—vote your values instead. Generations yet to be born are counting on us!
South Korea: Women's Hope Center
Korea’s abortion rate is estimated at 75 percent, driven by the international sex trade and intense cultural pressure to abort pregnancies outside of wedlock.
Women's Hope Center (WHC) exists to see every life valued from conception and every exploited woman in Korea free, healed and empowered.
We currently offer crisis pregnancy and post-abortion counseling nationwide via our online chat and in-person in 5 major cities, as well as educational seminars, long-term housing, and education and job training opportunities.
We are building a social enterprise to provide safe employment to our clients, and also hope to establish a “safe house” for sexually abused women.
Client Testimony:
This boy’s teen mom saw her baby's heartbeat on an ultrasound at 6 weeks. From then she began to run to save his life. She survived severe beatings before she found WHC, arriving only with the clothes on her back. Once her son was born her parents forced her to give him up for adoption but recently, miraculously, she was allowed to get him back though at the expense of being severed from her parents.
She chose her son.
She is staying at a short-term shelter close enough to her high school so she can complete her last semester of high school.
Thereafter, in December, they will be returning to the House of Peace (an apartment owned by WHC) for long-term care and support (for job training and potential employment in our future social business).

Serbia
Pregnancy Care Center: A Place for Me
The mission of our Pregnancy Care Center is to affirm LIFE by providing confidential and non-judgmental assistance in a caring and supportive environment to all who are facing unexpected pregnancies.
To prevent abortions, child abandonment, and separation of children from their families in 2015 through our program The NEST we started to offer accommodation for pregnant women and moms with babies who do not have the needed support of their families or partner.
The NEST Maternity Home's mission is to minister Christ’s love and grace and provide different opportunities for pregnant women and their children in a safe and stable home environment, to empower them and educate them in many areas to help eliminate generational cycles of broken relationships, unplanned pregnancies, poverty and the need for community social services.

Today, thousands of workers across the globe worked tirelessly to save abortion-vulnerable lives in their communities. These frontline lifesavers operate Heartbeat's thousands of pregnancy help locations reaching and rescuing women and their precious babies from abortion.
When you support Heartbeat International you are providing valuable tools, training, and support to these lifesavers all around the world. In turn, YOU--yes, YOU--can save a life today.

We are now present on all six inhabited continents, including in cultures that do not readily welcome new life based upon gender, class, race, or government-mandated laws. We value our international affiliates and partners and realize they face some of the most daunting challenges in the war against abortion today.
With your help, we will reach even more nations with the gospel of life. We will save innocent lives in places where children are not valued and life is not respected. Thank you for doing all you can to make this possible today!
Did You Know?
Every day, life-affirming pregnancy help organizations face relentless attacks from pro-abortion activists, biased mainstream media, censorship from big tech, and hostile legislation at both the state and federal levels. These attacks aim to silence the life-saving work of pregnancy centers and maternity homes that provide compassionate, free support to women facing unexpected pregnancies.
Our pro-life network of pregnancy help is engaged in a David vs. Goliath battle (1 Samuel 17) against the well-funded abortion industry and its allies. Despite these challenges, we stand firm in protecting the right of pregnancy centers to serve women and save lives.
Right now, Heartbeat International is involved in two critical legal battles defending Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)—a protocol that has helped countless women continue their pregnancies after starting a chemical abortion. Learn more about these cases:
Click a button below to learn more about these lawsuits.
The good news: As long as pro-life pregnancy centers are under attack, Heartbeat International will stand in their defense. Since 1971, we have empowered the pregnancy help movement with legal resources, expert training, and a strong network of support.
These battles will shape the future of the pro-life movement for generations to come. With your help, we can ensure that pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, and adoption agencies continue to provide hope and life-affirming choices for women.
Pregnancy Help Organizations provide life-affirming care to women at every stage of their pregnancy and beyond. These organizations include:
✔ Pregnancy Resource Centers and Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics
✔ Mobile Ultrasound Units offering free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds
✔ Maternity Homes providing safe housing and support
✔ Nonprofit Adoption Agencies promoting life-affirming options
✔ Abortion Recovery Programs for post-abortive healing
✔ Pregnancy Support Services offering material assistance and parenting education
There are thousands of pro-life pregnancy centers across the United States serving women and families in need.
Each state has unique needs as well as challenges, and now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, local and state laws have become the focus for activists on each side. It is now more important than ever that we are involved with our local centers and aware of how the changing laws are impacting them! While our affiliates open their doors to meet the needs of the women and families in their town, Heartbeat works to both inform and prepare our network of pregnancy help with the tools and education they need in order to run an effective organization.

Note From Capitol Hill:
“I applaud all of the men and women serving at Pregnancy Resource Centers across America. These individuals work daily to provide hope, practical resources, and personal mentoring to individuals facing uncertain times and difficult decisions. Through the compassion and caring of volunteers, countless women are empowered to choose life for themselves and their babies. Pregnancy Resource Centers are the most powerful force in our society for life and I commend them for all they do."
-Rep. Vicky Hartzler (MO-R)

Since the momentous overturning of Roe V. Wade, the battle to protect life has shifted from the federal courts back to the states. Pro-life advocates are working to pass life-affirming legislation and elect legislators who will protect the pre-born, while pro-abortion activists are trying to bypass the legislatures by enshrining abortion protections into state constitutions across the nation.
As we know, every election is important, and as we look forward to this November and into 2024, we see the growing need for the pregnancy help movement to step into the political conversation in defense of life. We must speak up and ensure our hard-earned victories are not erased, and abortion is not further embedded into our constitutions.
Voting your pro-life values and motivating others to do the same is an important way that we can ensure abortion is unthinkable for future generations.
