Five-year-old girl alive today because mother cancels abortion after reading pro-life article

The mother of a five-year-old girl has revealed how her daughter is alive today because she decided not to have an abortion after reading an article by a pro-life journalist.

In 2014, Matt Walsh, who writes for The Blaze and The Daily Wire, read a ‘goodbye letter’ from a mother to her unborn child, posted online shortly before she was due to have an abortion.

Hoping to dissuade the anonymous woman from going through with the abortion, Matt  responded with a letter of his own.

The father of four reminded the woman of the love she already had for her unborn child and the potential future that would be cut short if she went ahead with the termination.

He wrote: “I felt the uneasiness. I felt the sense of loss. I felt the desperation. And I felt the love. I did. I really did.

“You love your child. You want your child to be happy. You said that yourself, and I believe you. But this is not the way, friend. This is not the way.”

While the mother said in her letter that she would meet the child again when she was next pregnant, Matt said that wasn’t true.

“You can choose death or choose life, but there will not be a redo or a second chance. This is it. This is everything.

“You can have other kids, but you will never have this one again. This one, with her vast potential and incredible promise. She is here now, she is living now, and there is a place in this world for her.”

He pleaded with her to consider the potential future she would be missing out on, concluding: “Think about the future. Think about your little one. There is still time to change your mind. You still have a choice. Please, give your child a chance. Choose life.”

It’s unknown what happened next to the writer of the ‘goodbye letter’ and her baby. But, earlier this month, Matt learned his response did have a life-saving impact.

Matt was contacted by a different woman who had read his article when it was first published five and a half years ago.

The woman had just taken an abortion pill, but started to regret her decision after reading what Matt had written.

Later that night, she saw an advert for abortion pill reversal and decided she would try and save her baby.

Matt said: “Long story short, her daughter turned 5 this year. She now has a beautiful family. She chose life and does not regret it, to put it mildly.”

He added: “What amazing courage. The role I played was very small but I’m grateful to know that at least one thing I’ve published in my years of doing this has made a difference for at least one family.

“Most of all, I’m grateful that one child was spared the fate 60 million others have suffered.”

According to pro-life think tank the Charlotte Lozier Institute, medical abortions involve taking two abortion pills with the second set of pills being taken 24-72 hours after the first. It is sometimes possible to reverse the effects of the first drug if the woman hasn’t yet taken the second.The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a 2500-member organisation, supports offering abortion reversal pills to women who regret initiating the abortion pill process, after appropriate informed consent.

URGENT
APPEAL
to protect vulnerable lives

Help stop three major anti-life threats.

Help fight major assisted suicide and abortion up to birth threats.

Dear reader,

Despite the Leadbeater assisted-suicide Bill passing its Third Reading on 20 June, it scraped through by just 23 votes (314-291) after enjoying a 55-vote majority at Second Reading. Had 12 more MPs switched sides, the Bill would be dead. It now limps into the Lords with a wafer-thin majority, where peers can amend, delay or reject it outright.

THE CHALLENGE

Dignity in Dying, My Death My Decision and Humanists UK have poured millions into pushing assisted suicide and will fight hard to stop the Lords overturning the Bill.

At the same time, the Antoniazzi abortion-up-to-birth amendment, passed by MPs in June, also heads to the Lords. If it becomes law, it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason – including sex-selective purposes – and at any point up to and during birth.

We will be up against the UK’s largest abortion providers, BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes), who are expected to push for even more extreme changes to our abortion laws in the Lords.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Thousands of vulnerable lives are now at stake. Battling these two threats is the biggest and most expensive effort in our history, and has drained our limited resources. To fight effectively on both fronts, we aim to raise £200,000 by midnight this Sunday (13 July 2025).

Every donation, large or small, will help protect lives, and UK taxpayers can add 25p to every £1 through Gift Aid at no extra cost.

Will you make a donation now to help protect vulnerable lives from these major threats?
