Christmas for the Preborn, a one-hour ceremony of song and prayer, which commemorates the lives of preborn babies lost through elective abortion, is held each year, during the week before Christmas in front of the Women's Med Center abortion mill at 1401 East Stroop Road in Kettering.
We mourn the loss of the brief lives of those who were surgically or chemically aborted and we are honoring them – and reflecting on our loss, because they would have touched us and others in their own special way.In addition, we celebrate life with gifts, which are distributed to local women's resource and support centers. Each year we ask people to donate disposable diapers – sizes 3, 4 and 5 – and baby wipes as gifts. We estimate that local support centers distribute over 70,000 diapers a year, and demand keeps growing. These centers do a marvelous job for women in crisis situations and provide a variety of services, including free pregnancy tests, counseling, maternity and baby clothing, post-abortion support, ultrasounds, support classes, parent training, referrals for community resources, and medical and social services. They rely on private donations and deserve all the support we can give them.
Support and resource centers receiving the donations include:Plan to participate in 2011 on Friday, December 16th from 11 a.m. - Noon: Gathering diapers for the women support centers is ideal for school public service outreach or for church-based youth outreach programs.
