Heartbeat Life Trends Report
Crossroads is part of the Heartbeat International network. They have just put out a Life Trends report from last year and if you are a data person, you might find this very interesting.
”Heartbeat International and its network of nearly 3,000 pregnancy help organizations worldwide work tirelessly to provide hope and help to women and families experiencing unexpected pregnancies.
From this network of care, we can discover and evaluate trends within the movement as a whole and use them to inform and encourage others on the work accomplished.
The Life Trends Report exists to provide a snapshot of life-affirming pregnancy help. Having an awareness of the trends within the pregnancy help movement creates a better understanding as the culture changes and shifts over time.
The information within can be used to better understand the services our clients seek, while providing key information to share publicly about the good work and positive impact of pregnancy help”

Abortion Trend: Chemical Abortion
Chemical abortions have been increasingly preferred by abortion providers for years. We estimate an even larger increase in 2020 than originally predicted, due to the suspension of rules under the guise of COVID-19 that allowed for telemed abortion pills.
Life Trend: Abortion Pill Reversal
Heartbeat's Abortion Pill Rescue® Network (APRN) connects women who regret taking the first dose of the abortion pill regimen to a network of medical professionals trained to administer the reversal protocol.
