As co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/alphacenter.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Center<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, she\u2019s a formidable pro-life crusader. But she wasn\u2019t always that way. Diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White, a congenital heart defect, her first pregnancy ended by abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh told Live Action News that when she learned she was pregnant, \u201cMy doctor insisted I get an abortion, claiming it was medically necessary. No other option was presented to me.&#8221; She added, &#8220;As a member of the American Baptist church, I sought counseling at the Sioux Falls seminary to get another opinion. The counselors there supported women\u2019s &#8216;right to choose&#8217;. So, I traveled to Minneapolis accompanied by a counselor to get the abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afterward, Unruh went into cardiac arrest and was given a paper bag in which to breathe. Fortunately, she recovered quickly but later learned about an ablation procedure that could resolve her condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe ablation surgery wasn\u2019t an easy one, but it corrected the defect,\u201d Unruh said. \u201cYet, not one of the doctors ever recommended it as a solution. Instead, I was told not to get pregnant again or another abortion would be advised.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Unruh\u2019s husband was pro-life, Unruh considered herself pro-choice. Before her abortion, she felt disgusted with sidewalk counselors, whom she thought didn\u2019t do enough to help women and their babies. Later, she struggled with judging women who chose abortion because she, too, had an abortion \u2014\u00a0despite experiencing a \u201cchecklist\u201d of trauma symptoms that are characteristic among many post-abortive women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh said, \u201cI just didn\u2019t have anyone to talk to about my pain. There were no resources I could tap into to help me heal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>URGENT:\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/future-of-abortion\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=minibomb\"><b><i>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>A new beginning in the pro-life movement<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One evening, Unruh\u2019s husband, Dr. Allen Unruh, spontaneously attended a Right to Life meeting. As he heard about the atrocities committed on the preborn, an idea took hold. Collaborating with an inventor friend, he devised an educational telephone system he called \u201cTel-Med\u201d that played pre-recorded pro-life messages for callers responding to an ad he placed in the Yellow Pages titled \u201cAbortion Information.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlmost immediately, a deluge of calls came in from young women seeking appointments for abortions.\u201d Unruh said. \u201cMy husband asked me for assistance in fielding these calls. We received more than 150 in the first month.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A busy mother of five, Unruh was reluctant to involve herself in her husband\u2019s new ministry. But she agreed to invite these women into her home, turning her basement into a makeshift pregnancy support center offering counseling and free pregnancy tests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, Unruh wasn\u2019t convinced pro-life activism was her calling. Then, one day, her toddler son scurried among the dozens of rose bushes she had painstakingly planted, and chopped off the budding flowers. Frustrated and overwhelmed, Unruh informed her husband she could no longer assist him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh said, \u201cMy husband just looked at me and said he couldn\u2019t understand why I was so upset about a rose not given a chance to bloom but not bothered about a child in the womb who may never have a chance to grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day Unruh walked outside and noticed a solitary rose beginning to unfold. Realizing the rose symbolized life, she saw it as a sign God was speaking to her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought to myself, if not you, then who?\u201d Unruh said. \u201cThat night I told my husband about the abortion I had hidden for so long. He wrapped me in a loving embrace and told me he now understood why I was so effective in counseling the women we were seeing, because I had walked in their shoes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Formation of Alpha Center<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With renewed passion, Unruh and her husband partnered with another agency to find a location where they could expand their services. In 1984, the ministry was named Alpha Center to signify a new beginning for women, men, and their children. The center offers a spectrum of services and educational classes for pregnant women, and care for those who are post-abortive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh said, \u201cAbortion is forever. Women who regret their abortions provide the best testimonies for other women in similar situations. Many women beat up on themselves and some, like me, have never been able to talk about their abortions or don\u2019t understand the circumstances that led to their decisions. We come up alongside them and offer restoration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, Unruh noticed many women would repeatedly return for yet another pregnancy test. She recognized an opportunity to address an issue that was largely ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI didn\u2019t want to see these women keep coming back until their pregnancy test was positive,\u201d Unruh said. \u201cIt appeared nobody was approaching women about abstinence and teaching them what true intimacy was. I wanted to fill that gap and inspire women to learn self-love and respect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Abstinence key to preventing unplanned pregnancies<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh created a presentation she entitled \u201cTake Charge of Your Life\u201d to equip parents and grandparents to talk about love versus lust. She challenged pregnancy support centers to raise the bar by talking about abstinence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cParents need to be the primary sex educators, not the schools; otherwise, there\u2019s a risk of the message being watered down,\u201d Unruh said. \u201cSex education as opposed to sexual integrity will not encourage abstinence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her desire to provide educational tools about purity until marriage on a national and global scale gave birth to the idea for the <a href=\"https:\/\/abstinence.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Abstinence Clearinghouse<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh said, \u201cBy partnering with parents and abstinence advocates to offer engaging, age-appropriate, and medically accurate information, we can inspire young women and men to uphold a vow of purity until marriage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important, points out Unruh, to talk with women who have been sexually active about chastity in a nonjudgmental way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI tell them that past mistakes don\u2019t define them,\u201d Unruh said. \u201cAnd that they were created for better things.\u00a0 I encourage them to make wise decisions and let them know we are here to help them do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s clear Unruh has fully embraced pro-life activism. She never shies away from taking a bold stand for women and their babies. As if she\u2019s not hard-working enough, she\u2019s taken on a new role: serving as co-chair for <a href=\"https:\/\/lifedefensefund.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Life Defense Fund<\/a>, a ballot-question committee formed to prevent an abortion-to-birth amendment from being codified into the South Dakota state constitution. Life Defense Fund&#8217;s goal is to ensure the initiative never makes it on the ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unruh said, \u201cIt\u2019s easy to get discouraged when we lose a battle or two but we\u2019re in this to win the war. I see miracles happen all the time. And for me, that stokes the fire to keep fighting. I\u2019m in this for the long haul and I won\u2019t back down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pledge.liveaction.org\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=prolife_pledge\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-277267\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pledge-live-action-ad-970x250-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saving babies from the horror of abortion is Leslee Unruh\u2019s mission.
