Carol Everett, a former abortion clinic owner and author of "Blood Money, Getting Rich Off a Woman's Right to Choose," is the featured speaker of the Hope Pregnancy Center's 2015 banquet. The annual fundraising event takes place April 25th at the Canton Civic Center, 800 Flea Market Road, Canton, Texas.
Carol will share her personal story how God rescued her from the abortion industry. As the former owner of four abortion clinics and overseeing 35,000 pregnancy terminations, Carol will share the horror and pain of the abortion industry. Through God's grace Carol has been transformed and is now a pro-life advocate, working to save babies' lives.
As president and founder of the Heidi Group, today Carol works to help network resources for crisis pregnancy centers nationwide, providing services such as board strategic planning, fundraising, volunteer training, and continuing education. Carol has shared her testimony on Focus on the Family, Point of View, and the 700 Club. She has also served as an expert witness in courts of law and testified before Congress and state capitals speaking out against the abortion industry.
