Christine Grimmett, LAS, Academy Specialist

At any given moment, we could stop and ask ourselves “What is God teaching me right now?” Well, right now it’s patience.

As I sit here and type and attempt to stop and think about my relationship with my Heavenly Father and what He may be teaching me, I’m also stopping to put the pacifier back in my 2-month-old daughter’s mouth every ten seconds. She’s supposed to be napping in the bassinet next to me, but instead, I can see her little arms and legs flailing around, and my quiet time is interrupted by her little coos and occasional cries for me to step in and put the pacifier back in her mouth.

My husband and I recently finished up a Bible study on the Old Testament, and we were joking about how the Israelites keep whining about different things—“we’re tired of manna,” “we want a king,” etc.—and, very simply put, God puts the pacifier back in.

The people, often by their own doing, are creating problems for themselves and God fixes it, offering another chance. Just like how I fix my baby’s problem by putting the pacifier back in, although I know she’s going to spit it out ten seconds later!

The analogy is far from perfect, but it’s the over and over and over again approach that I want to focus on. To be honest, sometimes I find myself reading Bible stories of God’s people committing the same sins over again and I just shake my head. How could they be so foolish?! But what about me?

If I take an honest look at myself at the end of each day (I’m a fan of The Examen by St. Ignatius), I find that I repeat many of my shortcomings on a daily basis.

It can be disheartening as I recognize my sins, but I have to step back and instead recognize why I keep doing the same things. The question that the Israelites in the Old Testament consistently reply “no” to is God asking “Do you trust Me?”

At any given moment, the question I should be asking myself is “are you trusting Him?” If I did, maybe I wouldn’t continue to give in when I feel tempted, or even to complain about something going on in the world around me that I’m unhappy about. Instead of shaking my head at those Israelites, maybe I should look at the Old Testament and see how God repeatedly gave second chances and kept his promises. He not only “puts the pacifier back in," He also picks us up, holds us close, and teaches us how to do better. He never gets tired of that! No matter how many times I fail to trust God, He’s not phased by it at all.

Just as I find joy in watching my baby girl grow and learn each day, God delights in watching us grow closer to Him and learn to trust Him more each day.

It's just progesterone.

The sciences of physiology and pharmacology support the concept of Abortion Pill Reversal. The animal data indisputably confirms the effectiveness of using progesterone to reverse the action of mifepristone. The human data clearly shows that reversal works. The human experience proves that it works.

Join Heartbeat International's Abortion Pill Rescue Network as we support healthcare providers in their fight to serve women and save lives. Sign onto the statement below:

The pharmacology of Abortion Pill Reversal and the safety of progesterone are very clear. As a licensed provider in the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, I endorse the use of progesterone to reverse the effects of mifepristone (abortion pill reversal).

Abortion Pill Reversal restores hope to women who regret having taken the first abortion pill by providing them with a protocol treatment that is capable of reversing the effects of a chemical abortion with up to 68% effectiveness rate. We help women in crisis who contact Abortion Pill Reversal turn back the clock and reverse the effects of chemical abortion.

Within a critical 72-hour window of taking the first pill, we can provide both connection and timely hope—a connection to a calming, supportive healthcare provider to deliver the reversal protocol, and the hope of a second chance for life. A chemical abortion is a cold, lonely experience. Abortion Pill Reversal is here to be the light for a brighter future. Statistics show that we have helped save over 2,500 lives (so far!).

As the parent brand, Heartbeat International seeks to reach pregnant women, rescue them from a scarcity mindset in which abortion is the only option, and renew entire communities; one woman at a time.

Heartbeat International’s mission focus pillars are Reach, Rescue, and Renew. Abortion Pill Reversal lives in the RESCUE pillar. 

Our Abortion Pill Reversal logo communicates, down to our essence, exactly what we do. We reverse the effects of a chemical abortion, through the hope of a brighter future. We alter the course of lives—those who connect with Abortion Pill Reversal are set on a completely different trajectory. 

The slightly offset arrows blend reversal with a hopeful future while conveying a readiness to help and a way forward. Notice how the two arrows go from dark to light—this reminds us of the hope we are able to offer through this life-saving protocol.

When combined with the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, you see the reversal arrow is juxtaposed onto a shield, conveying protection and strength. 

All our work points to our vision to make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations. Abortion Pill Reversal helps us reach that vision through its mission to rescue women and babies and provide a second chance for life after taking the first chemical abortion pill. 

Option Line is committed to reaching those who are either facing an unplanned pregnancy, think they might be pregnant, or are close to someone who is through our 24/7 pregnancy help contact center.

Established in 2003, Option Line is the only fully staffed, bilingual pro-life contact center in the U.S. Since we first answered the call, we’ve spoken with over 4 million people who are desperate for answers in an unexpected pregnancy.

Option Line makes these critical connections with abortion-vulnerable women and in turn, connects women to a local pregnancy help center in their area. Our primary goal is to encourage and empower those who reach out to us by offering trustworthy guidance through personalized care. We accomplish this goal by communicating directly with over 1,000 men and women each day at our contact center via phone, live chat, texting, and email.

As the parent brand, Heartbeat International seeks to reach pregnant women, rescue them from a scarcity mindset in which abortion is the only option, and renew entire communities; one woman at a time.

Heartbeat International’s mission focus pillars are Reach, Rescue, and Renew. Option Line lives in the REACH pillar. 

Our Option Line symbol conveys a deep, beautiful story with a litany of messages, beginning with the concept that Option Line is a central hub; both reaching out and gently guiding.

The design of the pattern within the circle spells out “Reach” in Morse code communicating our desire to offer empathetic, compassionate guidance through open and honest communications as we provide the full story and options. The colors convey warmth, hope, and approachability. Everything we are and strive to be to those who call us.

All our work points to our vision to make abortion unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations. Option Line helps us reach that vision through its mission to reach those who are abortion-vulnerable through a 24/7 contact center.

JOIN US FOR OUR LAST ULTRASOUND TRAINING OF THE YEAR!

November 12-14, 2024  |  Dallas, TX

"This fits exactly how I want to practice medicine.
It’s evidence-based and rigorous.
It has integrity and Incorporates God.
Medicine is fast just like this week.
This is how medicine should be practiced."

- LAUC Attendee, July 2024

While there are various ultrasound trainings available for nurses and sonographers who work within the pregnancy help movement, Heartbeat International has championed a new form of training that connects the technical needs and the spiritual needs for those working in pregnancy help. The training is held in two parts: First, students complete an online ultrasound training* through Heartbeat International’s Academy which meets the Association of Women's Health Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) guidelines for didactic training, as well as completing 25 OB prerequisite scans** to prepare for the in-person training. Next, students come on-site to participate in an in-person scan lab experience with one-on-one instruction from educators who are also sonographers credentialed in RDMS (OB/GYN) and RNs who have multiple years of experience imaging in Pregnancy Help Clinics.

By combining the technical, practical, and spiritual elements into one pregnancy help medical training, trainees will work towards becoming equipped, qualified, and ready to scan within their center. (Looking for training for other Pregnancy Help staff? Click here!)

This Clinical will include:

• 50+ Scanning Drills
• Pregnant models of all gestations
• Unique L.O.V.E. Approach Method of imaging the preborn babies
• Competency scanning pathology typically encountered in Limited Obstetric Diagnostic Ultrasound
• First simulation training offered nationally in the Pregnancy Help movement-
  • Transvaginal instruction on simulation models
  • Mastering of skills by scanning a simulated ectopic pregnancy
• Image Reviews
• Spiritually focused instructional approach
• Case Studies
• How to introduce a mom to her baby for the very first time
• Skills Evaluations for those completing training
• Supportive team to reinforce your calling

*Heartbeat International will offer 20 Continuing Education Contact Hours for nurses for the didactic portion of training and 12 Continuing Education Contact Hours for nurses for the clinical portion of training. Heartbeat International is an approved provider through the California Board of Nursing, Provider Number 16061.

The focus of the clinical event is on repetition and volume, along with spiritual encouragement and reinforcement of techniques and knowledge gained from the didactic training. The ideal participant is someone who is self-motivated, and confident and needs a high volume of scans for training. This event is fast-paced and filled with drills, techniques and one-on-one instruction from educators who are also sonographers credentialed in RDMS (OB/GYN) and RNs who have multiple years of experience imaging in Pregnancy Help Clinics. Each participant receives a skill evaluation by our instructors, however, Heartbeat International does not certify nor credential any medical professional. The final determination of when a nurse can scan in a clinic is made by individual Medical Directors.

NEW! Take a look inside The L.O.V.E. Approach Clinical by listening to Lisa Bourne and Christa Brown discuss how The L.O.V.E. Approach can be effectively used in the ultrasound setting, and how attending the Clinical not only gives you technical experience but also teaches students to deal with the spiritual warfare that we see on the pro-life battlefield.

Pricing

The L.O.V.E. Approach Ultrasound Clinical includes 20 hours of didactic training (20 CEUs) and 24 hours of clinical training (12 CEUs). 

*Completion of Heartbeat's Online Ultrasound Didactic Training is a prerequisite to The L.O.V.E. Approach Ultrasound Clinical and is included in the cost of the training.

**Nurses attending The L.O.V.E. Approach Ultrasound Clinical have found many ways to obtain the prerequisite of 25 OB scans. Here are a few ways to fulfill this requirement.

• Scan with another clinic. Here is a locator to find nearby pregnancy help organizations. 
• Offer a scanning day to scan clients who have been scanned previously with a sonographer or a trained nurse. 
• Scan some women who are not pregnant (such as coworkers or friends) to image female anatomy and to become acquainted with the function of an ultrasound system.
• Contact a local OB office for possible assistance with training scans.

Currently, political leaders are pressuring the FDA to make it easier to sell abortion pills via mail, politicizing "medicine" to favor the interests of Big Abortion. If successful, this will increase the number of abortions in the United States by millions.

Heartbeat and our Abortion Pill Rescue Network have been working with our friends at Students for Life to put together a powerful new tool to combat this deadly trend. 

Heartbeat President Jor-El Godsey joined Students for Life and our incredible partners to announce this on an Emergency Nationwide Pro-Life Webcast. See below:

The powerful new tool: A new Docu-Series, produced by Charlotte Pence Bond, in partnership with Students for Life of America and Heartbeat International. This series uncovers the dangers of Chemical Abortion and the push by the current administration to expand use of it. 

Watch the Docu-Series to learn more about this dangerous new frontier for the abortion industry.

As the abortion industry looks to expand, we continue to bring hope! Our Abortion Pill Rescue Network is here and ready to answer the calls from girls seeking to reverse the effects of that first abortion pill. You can help us answer these calls by supporting our efforts today. Click here to make a donation now and help a woman know that it's not too late. There is still hope to save her pregnancy.
