Meriane's Story
"When I arrived to Mexico, I had my first ultrasound. It would be common to think about abortion. But, for me, it was very comforting to think it was a new life, it is God's blessing, and I'm going to welcome this blessing with all of my love." - Meriane
Watch our new video to learn about Meriane's amazing story and how she turned to Aid for Women for the care and support she needed.
All human life, from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages, is sacred because human life is created in the image of God. Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person.
