Heartbeat to Kourtney: Thanks for choosing life for Baby Kardashian
while pointing out that abortion hurts women
“A world where every new life is welcomed is Heartbeat’s vision and we are encouraged by Kourtney Kardashian, a beautiful young TV star who is helping to make abortion unthinkable,” said Heartbeat International President Peggy Hartshorn, Ph.D. “We are grateful to Kourtney for opening her heart to her unexpected baby and showing the world how a mother should value and protect the life in her womb.”
“The courage of Kourtney Kardashian, and the hundreds of young women who are coming to similar conclusions regarding unplanned pregnancies is proof that abortion is not the answer for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for women,” said Heartbeat International Board Member Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, and spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. “Kourtney is singing our song. We’ve been saying this in the Black Community for years. We love our children. We just need help with becoming and being mothers.
"We’re on a crusade to say that abortion is not health care, a baby is not a disease or a sickness, so why are our leaders insisting on making provision for genocide in any health care plan for America? This shift in understanding about a woman’s life, her body and her baby is a welcome addition to the Beloved Community of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We’re finally learning the ‘Free at Last’ song!”
According to People magazine, Kourtney said: “I looked online, and I was sitting on the bed hysterically crying, reading these stories of people who felt so guilty from having an abortion…I was reading these things of how many people are traumatized by it afterwards.”
Healing the Effects of Abortion Related Trauma (HEART), a guide for abortion recovery produced by Heartbeat International is available through many pregnancy centers.
