Message from CompassCare CEO
Dear Pro-Life Champion,
New York is the abortion capital of the nation with more abortions per capita than any other state.
Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the world, and DanCo Laboratories, the largest purveyor of chemical abortion drugs in the nation, are headquartered in NYC. Roughly 10% of the nation’s 1,000,000+ abortions take place in New York, with the other 90% facilitated by the Empire State.
CompassCare is the only pro-life medical center in NYC, and is the only pro-life network to provide the lion’s share of pro-life services across an entire state—and not just any state.
Pro-abortion politicians like NY Gov. Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and NYC Mayor Adams have protected the abortion industry, used tax payer dollars to expand abortion infrastructure, vilified peaceful pro-life medical centers, and stockpiled chemical abortion drugs.
In order to truly address the problem of abortion nationally, the pro-life community will eventually have to take back the abortion capital. Through CompassCare, the only pro-life medical organization in NYC, with a proven track record in the abortion industry’s backyard (Rochester, NY), the pro-life community can now compete with the billion-dollar abortion industry on their own turf.
The results of the 2024 Presidential Election won’t matter. While NY will continue to abort babies at an increasing rate, CompassCare will continue serving women with ethical medical care and comprehensive community support, no matter what.
A generous donor has committed to an unlimited dollar-for-dollar match toward CompassCare’s NYC Expansion efforts. If you donate to serve ten women, they will sponsor ten more. If your gift covers six months of CompassCare’s operational costs in The Bronx, this donor will cover the remaining six. And if you build the pro-life infrastructure in one borough, this donor will make it two!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Double your pro-life impact where it is needed most.
In Christ, Rev. Jim Harden, M.Div.

NYC Expansion
THE PROBLEM
- NY is the abortion capital of the US.
- Overturning Roe has redrawn the abortion battlelines, centralizing surgical abortion to states like New York and pushing chemical abortion online.
- Abortion giant Planned Parenthood has built infrastructure anticipating an influx of out-of-state patients.
- The national chemical abortion industry is headquartered in Manhattan, NY.
- In 2019, NY politicians made abortion a fundamental human right, paving the way for abortion tourism.
- NY is responsible for approximately 10% of the nation’s 1,000,000 abortions.
- The billion-dollar surgical and chemical abortion industries are headquartered in NYC.
- The pro-life community in NYC does not have the infrastructure or medical staff to serve more than 0.2% of current abortion market in NYC—over 40,000 abortions per year.
THE STRATEGY
Reduce the number of abortions in NYC by:
Building Infrastructure
Since 2018, CompassCare has been building pro-life infrastructure in the Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany, NY regions. Now with the ability to compete head-on with the abortion industry in those regions in-person and through TeleCare, CompassCare has set an ambitious goal of building pro-life medical infrastructure in all 5 of NYC’s boroughs—Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—by 2026.
Each NYC facility will be designed to handle 10% of the borough’s abortion market.
Recruiting Medical Staff
In addition to hiring full- and part-time nurses, overseen by a licensed medical doctor, CompassCare is piloting a missionary nurse program, harnessing the latent pro-life medical talent across NY and in conservative states. This program would recruit, train, and deploy pro-life nurses for 1-10 weeks at a time to serve at established pro-life medical centers in abortion hub cities, starting with NYC.
THE OPPORTUNITY: UNLIMITED MATCHING FUNDS
CompassCare’s results show 1) more lives can be saved from abortion, and 2) there is a proven methodology to save them. This requires godly donors in order to financially seed the costs of CompassCare’s expansion into Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

PILOT RESULTS
- Establishing service capacity of over 25% in Rochester led to a 50% reduction in abortion over nine years, during the peak of abortion numbers in 2008.
- In the second year of operation in Buffalo, CompassCare saw over 450 patients in 2021 with an 18% service capacity, and is now at full capacity and on track to see a 50% abortion reduction by 2025. Albany services began in April 2022, with a new facility and a team able to serve 30% of the market by December 2022.
- A comprehensive TeleCare platform launched upstate in August 2022. TeleCare launched in November 2022 in NYC.
- CompassCare projects saving 44,000 lives in NY by 2029 that would otherwise be lost to abortion.
Exhibit A: Why CompassCare?
CompassCare has earned a national reputation for helping pregnancy centers increase their service capacity and overall performance in helping abortion-minded women have their babies.
2002
First medicalized Pro-life pregnancy center in NY.
2004
CompassCare began training pregnancy centers in NY and the nation to restructure and improve performance.
2005
Pioneered a now nationally accepted philosophy of ministry and service model in the pregnancy center movement.
2007
Created a training system to help other pregnancy centers nationwide serve more women more effectively.
2012
Open-sourced patient service systems. An estimated 650 pregnancy centers nationwide are using CompassCare’s language or service systems to some degree with several attempting to replicate the concepts on their own.
2015
Launched medical process management software, Optimize, to help pregnancy centers actively engage continuous improvement in services for women seriously considering abortion.
2018
The NYS Abortion Reduction plan was initiated as CompassCare adopted three pregnancy centers in the Buffalo region, the largest abortion-hub in the state outside of NYC.
2021
CompassCare’s adoption of a pregnancy center in NY’s Capital Region, state’s third largest abortion hub.
2022
When CompassCare’s Buffalo office was firebombed by Jane’s Revenge in June, CompassCare temporality relocated so as not to lose a single day of life-saving patient services. CompassCare managed a national PR strategy to protect pregnancy centers from further violence and censorship while developing and launching a national TeleCare initiative.
CompassCare is ideally situated to stay on the leading edge of service. New York is an aggressively pro-abortion state with the most permissive abortion laws and the highest abortion rates per capita than any other state in the Union. CompassCare has a track record of overseeing the abortion numbers cut in half while the abortion industry scrambles to stay afloat by diversifying services, reducing staff, consolidating administration, or simply going out of business.
Exhibit B: Status
CompassCare in Rochester intentionally developed a service process and infrastructure with the capacity to reach and serve 25% of the abortion market to disrupt the local abortion industry’s business plan. It worked. Abortion in Rochester plummeted 50% from 2008 to 2016, a decline that was farther and faster than any abortion hub market in the nation.
The strategy is to replicate Rochester’s effectiveness in the state’s other abortion hubs, with a five-year 50% abortion reduction goal in each market. With in-person services available at three regional offices, CompassCare only has access to 15% of all women in NY at-risk for abortion. Adding statewide TeleCare gives pro-life pregnancy centers access to an additional 20% of all at-risk women for a combined total access of at least 35%.
