SA Rally for Life Guest Speaker: Carol Everett, Founder and President of The Heidi Group
Carol Everett is the founder and president of The Heidi Group. In 1973, she had an abortion, shortly after the landmark decision for Roe v. Wade.
Lured by the substantial income and driven by the subconscious desire to justify her abortion decision, she spent 6 years selling abortions to other women in four abortion clinics in Dallas/Fort Worth. After 35,000 abortions, the death of one woman and surgery on 19 other patients, God brought her to a crossroads. Her life changed when she came to know the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ in 1983. She realized that her work was hurting women, not helping them.
180 Degrees
Answering God’s call, she now use her experiences and faith to help set girls and women free from abortion by connecting them with positive, life-affirming options. The Heidi Group partners with these women and their families to meet the needs of a crisis pregnancy with practical and scriptural solutions.
Affirming life encompasses more than saving babies. The Heidi Group works with each girl and woman individually to ensure that long and short-term needs are met for her and her family. They refer to resources to cover basic medical and financial needs, while developing plans that facilitate a positive, self-sufficient future, spiritually and economically. Their ultimate goal is to lead women and families to secure lives in Christ and economic stability.
Advocating Life
Carol first worked educating the pro-life movement about the day-to-day activities inside the abortion industry. She has offered expert testimony in courts across the nation as well as 33 State Legislatures and Congress. In 1995, she founded The Heidi Group to follow her heart for the hurting by supporting pregnancy resource centers with foundational business principles and fundraising.
Today, The Heidi Group works with a network of life-affirming non-profits across the nation offering expertise in media, fundraising and strategic planning.
