NameThem.org

This site is dedicated to the healing of women suffering from an abortion experience.

Naming your unborn child and grieving their loss, is a significant and powerful first step in post-abortive healing. Not only the mothers, but the fathers and the extended family & friends often go through a grieving period over the child that would have been their grandchild, niece/nephew, or sibling.

Anybody who has been affected by this loss may feel free to honor the unborn child.

Name Your Unborn Child

Our goal is to have all the baby names and dates collected and engraved on a permanent memorial by september of 2016. Names collected in this database will be enscribed every year at the annual memorial service. See “ND Memorial to the Unborn & Sanctuary of Healing” below for more information.

Optional

The following information will be stored in a capsule that will be buried at the Unborn Children's Memorial site in Bismarck, ND.

The information you submit will be kept confidential.

The ND Memorial to the Unborn & Sanctuary of Healing

The ND Memorial for the Unborn and Sanctuary of Healing, (officially begun on June 9, 2015), is a multi-denominational effort to build a physical memorial site in honor of the children lost to elective (and forced) abortions in our state and a place of healing for those hurting from an abortion experience.

There have been nearly 70,000 abortions in North Dakota since 1973. After 42 years of legalized abortion, it is time to create a place to begin healing for mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, friends, those who have worked in the abortion industry and the larger community as a whole.

The Memorial/Sanctuary with it's architectural beauty and custom made statuary will serve as a beacon of consolation and hope to those who are suffering as a result of abortion. Annual ceremonies will be held. Baby names will be collected every year and engraved at the site. Letters and prayers will also be encapsulated at the site. Resources for healing will reach those who need it.

‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving kindness toward those who fear Him.
