What does Pulse do, anyway?

Protect Life Amendment public hearing

Pulse executive director, Maggie DeWitte, testifies at the Capitol.

What does Pulse Life Advocates do day in and day out? 

You may have given us money (thank-you!) and want to know how we use it. 

You may be in a crisis pregnancy trying to figure out your next step. 

Maybe you’re trying to sort out your feelings about the abortion issue and need hard data and insightful info on the emotional, physical, and spiritual implications of aborting unborn human beings.

Whatever the reason, Pulse is busy on behalf of unborn babies.

We believe in the dignity of human life from the instant of fertilization to natural death. To that end, we maintain an unrelenting schedule to end abortion in Iowa and beyond.

We engage with governors, legislators, media, churches, students, pastors, bishops, women in crisis pregnancies, men’s groups, women’s groups, schools, teachers, principals, moms, dads, grandparents, and more providing them factual information on the life and death issue of abortion.

Big Abortion may have us out-financed, but they certainly can’t out-hustle us!

Here is a partial list of what we’ve done since the first of the year:

√ Took two busloads of students to the March for Life in Washington DC

√ Dramatically expanded the content of our website with new info for women in crisis pregnancies; abortion pill reversal content; an entire new family support page; and a new page on abortion procedures so women know what they’re getting into if they choose abortion.

So what does Pulse do? A lot.

If you’ve supported us financially, thank-you. THIS is how your financial support is used.

If you’re not supporting us financially, and if you like the direction we’ve taken, can you begin supporting us today? Dollars matter. Even $10 or $20 a month helps, and we make it easy to set up monthly giving here.

Pulse Life Advocates won’t stop what we’re doing until abortion is simply a bad memory from a dark period in our nation’s history.
