Carol Everett, a former abortionist, has dedicated her life to both counseling and helping inner-city women with the challenges of unintended pregnancies and educating the public about the horrors of abortion.
At a luncheon hosted by Lifewatch, an arm of the United Methodist Church, Everett spoke to the public at the Hilton Fort Worth Hotel in Texas about her personal experiences operating an abortion clinic and the need to eradicate a practice that harms millions of women every year.
“I sold abortions. When we opened, we did 45 abortions the first month. The last month [we were open], we did 545 abortions,” she admitted in a statement.
Everett, who has suffered from the personal trauma of three abortions, said she eventually left the abortion industry for good to establish The Heidi Group.
The group, founded in 1995, is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women avoid abortions while preparing for the challenges of unplanned pregnancies.
As part of its programs, The Heidi Group offers free bilingual parenting classes, Bible studies and counseling for future mothers.
Everett named the group Heidi in remembrance of her unborn child she aborted back in 1973.
“We are an injured nation, for many of us are unwilling to admit or deal with our pain,” Everett explained to the audience on the prevalence of abortion.
“I have never changed a mind by debate,” she added, noting that it was necessary for people to better inform themselves on the realities of abortion.
The luncheon, sponsored by Lifewatch, also known as the Taskforce of United Methodists on Abortion and Sexuality, was held as part of an information session on the topic of abortion and the abortion industry. It was held during the United Methodist Church’s quadrennial General Conference
Since 1973, when the Supreme Court made its ruling in Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion throughout the United States, nearly 50 million babies have been aborted.

I think it's pretty sobering the fact that 50 million human children, gifts from God were killed by this nation. As a Nation we need to run to God and seek His forgiveness, and that forgivenss is there in Jesus Christ; the Lord paid a debt that we can never pay. Even this our loving and great God will and does redeem this too!
It is HIS love for us that convicts us of the great sin in our lives; and it is so unbelievable to me that this GOD, our loving Father. I think this is wonderful that Carol can come out and teach about the horrors of abortion and she has the experience being a doctor and someone that has gone down that road. As a woman and a sister in Christ, I want to say that not only should we be standing against abortions; but we must be standing with and supporting the women who find themselves pregnant and assist them in keeping their child/or giving their child to another family, and help these women come to healing and wholeness in the Lord God.
God is the Author of life and all life is precious and each life unique; let us stand united for all life, both the life and the quality of that life!!! Praise God and may He continue to bless Carol!
I have seen this woman interviewed several times. She is really sincere and passionate in wanting to save women from the trauma that she and unfortunately many others have experienced. May the Lord bless their efforts.
It makes me so happy to hear that slowly, but surely the errors of ones way have been forgive and chaged for the better of herself and thousands of babies. I love to hear when God works his miracles. God bless those of you who are Pro-Life and my deepest and most loving prayers go out to the Lost.
