A tool for the 11th Hour

I want to talk to you about a woman every pregnancy center knows well.

It is not the woman who is eager for your support and ready to hear about your programs.
It is not the woman who is still weighing her options and just needs more information.

It is the woman who leaves — even after seeing the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat — who is still set on taking the abortion pills.

You know her.

She is the one your staff thinks about for days afterward.
The one whose name lingers in the room long after she is gone.

She is the one you wish you had just one more tool for — something to help her see the pain that is coming.

The CARE Kit was created specifically for this woman and for this 11th-hour moment. It is not for every client, and it is not meant to replace the care you already provide. It is for that one specific girl who is set on her path, not expecting any more help from the center because she has chosen abortion.

The CARE Kit turns an awkward exit into a transitional moment — a moment for her to be seen, heard, and loved. The kit is a thoughtful gift that provides real, practical tools while clearly and tangibly presenting the reality of a pill-based abortion.

Conversations that once felt closed remain open as women work through informed consent and begin to understand what they will experience. And it is often at this point that hearts begin to soften and change.

Centers have seen it happen. Women go from being abortion-determined to asking a simple question:
“If I don’t have an abortion, how can you help me?”

The 11th hour is real.
The girl walking out the door is real.
And now there is something real and powerful to place in her hands.

This may not be for every center — and that is okay. But for the centers that feel the weight of the 11th-hour moment and are asking, “Can we do more?” — this is our answer.

Why I Thought the C.A.R.E. Kit was a Bad Idea...

By Brandon Monahan, CEO Heritage House

In late 2022, when Rachel from Infinite Worth first brought me the idea of adapting a miscarriage kit into an abortion-care kit, I was extremely skeptical. I had what I believed were good reasons to object, so I delayed the project. Now, I regret that decision.

My first concern was simple: I didn't want to support abortions. From a pro-life standpoint, I was wrestling with whether a kit like this could end up assisting the process instead of saving lives.

My second concern was timing. The window from "I just found out I'm pregnant" to "the abortion is underway" has become extremely compressed. I kept thinking, "How does a kit get to a woman who already has the pill?"

And then, to be blunt, there was an emotional barrier: this kit is connected to something gruesome. It felt heavy and something I didn't want to be part of that.

Over time, though, the answers came—and they didn't just remove my objections, they became the strongest reasons for the Women's C.A.R.E. Kit.

The "are we supporting abortion?" question was answered when I saw a booklet originally designed by the Southwest Coalition. That brochure helped me understand the kit's power in stopping and reversing abortions—not assisting them. A medical ethicist helped to ensure the brochure made the kit an "exit ramp," a chance for a woman to pause and say, "Wait a second—what am I doing? I want to do something different."

The timing issue became a winning issue when pregnancy centers became involved. Instead of shipping a kit, a client could get an instant referral, drive over, have an appointment, and leave with both information and the kit. This created an opportunity to reach abortion-determined women who never would have stepped into a center otherwise.

Finally, the gruesome nature of the kit turned out to be an amazing positive. As we told OB/GYNs about the kit, the response was a heartfelt and enthusiastic desire to get them to their patients. They were simply angry at what the abortion clinics were doing to their clients and were ecstatic that someone was going to offer real help and support.

I now believe the Women's C.A.R.E. Kit is one of the best tools to help women reconsider taking the pill. We hope you see this opportunity and join us in helping women making a choice that will both save a life and avoid the physical and emotional pain of abortion.
