Group Saving Babies from Slaughter Behind Enemy Lines
In the modern battle for life, few organizations demonstrate courage and resilience like CompassCare Pregnancy Centers. Under the determined leadership of CEO Jim Harden, CompassCare has strategically placed its centers in some of the most challenging locations in the country—urban hubs like Brooklyn and the Bronx, areas that have become synonymous with the abortion industry. These centers are not just outposts of compassion; they are frontlines in a cultural and moral struggle, working tirelessly to prevent women from making the irreversible decision to terminate their pregnancies.
A Strategic Mission in “Abortion Hubs”
Jim Harden’s strategy is as bold as it is effective. By establishing a presence in areas where abortion clinics are concentrated, CompassCare positions itself to directly engage with women who may feel pressured or cornered into ending their pregnancies. Harden describes these urban centers as “abortion hubs”—places where the abortion industry thrives due to cultural norms, socioeconomic factors, and aggressive marketing.
CompassCare offers these women an alternative: life-affirming support that includes free medical services like ultrasounds, pregnancy counseling, and material assistance. The goal is to empower women to see their pregnancies not as insurmountable burdens but as opportunities for hope and new beginnings.
Hostility and Firebombs: The Cost of Advocacy
Operating in these hostile environments is not without risk. CompassCare’s presence in areas like Brooklyn and the Bronx has drawn fire from abortion advocates, who accuse the organization of infringing on women’s rights. The hostility reached a fever pitch in 2022 when one of CompassCare’s facilities was firebombed by pro-abortion extremists.
The attack left the building severely damaged, but it did not dampen Harden’s resolve. “The enemy is fear,” Harden said in the aftermath. “If we let fear dictate our actions, then those who perpetrate violence win.” Instead of retreating, CompassCare doubled down, rebuilding the facility and expanding its services. Harden’s response was a testament to the organization’s unwavering commitment to its mission, even in the face of physical danger.
Why CompassCare Stands Apart
CompassCare isn’t just another pregnancy center; it is a model of holistic, compassionate care. The organization recognizes that women considering abortion often face overwhelming pressures—financial strain, lack of support, and societal stigma. To address these challenges, CompassCare provides:
- Free medical services: Including ultrasounds that allow women to see their babies for the first time.
- Counseling and education: To help women make informed decisions based on facts, not fear or misinformation.
- Material support: Including diapers, baby clothes, and access to housing or job resources.
This comprehensive approach ensures that women are equipped with the resources and support they need to choose life confidently.
Operating Behind Enemy Lines
CompassCare’s mission can only be described as operating “behind enemy lines.” The centers are surrounded by institutions and ideologies that view abortion not as a last resort but as a fundamental right. This adversarial environment requires CompassCare to be both strategic and courageous.
Harden is acutely aware of the challenges. “We are not just fighting for the lives of unborn children,” he says. “We are fighting for the hearts and minds of mothers who have been told they have no other choice.” The organization’s presence in these areas is a direct challenge to the abortion industry, offering a counter-narrative that values both mother and child.
A Call to Action
Despite the hostility and violence, CompassCare continues to expand its reach, thanks in large part to the unwavering support of its donors and volunteers. Harden often emphasizes that this is not a fight that can be won by organizations alone; it requires a movement of individuals who are willing to stand for life in tangible ways.
CompassCare’s story is not just one of resilience; it is a story of transformation. Women who walk through their doors leave with hope where there was despair, courage where there was fear, and life where there might have been death.
The Future of CompassCare
As CompassCare continues to operate in hostile territory, Harden is optimistic about the future. The organization plans to expand into more urban centers, increasing its reach and impact. Harden believes that change is possible, even in the most challenging environments.
“In the end, this isn’t just about saving babies,” Harden says. “It’s about restoring dignity, hope, and humanity to women who deserve far more than what the abortion industry offers.”
CompassCare’s work is a beacon of light in some of the darkest places, proving that even behind enemy lines, life and hope can prevail.
