Nurturing Network
Biography
During the two decades since Mary Cunningham Agee founded the Nurturing Network, over 19,000 College and working women have been nurtured and healed through TNN’s powerful Network of 48,000 dedicated Resource Members. Her goal twenty years ago remains the same today: To provide a positive alternative to abortion to every woman who contacts TNN’s toll-free number or visits its award-winning website. This vital mission has become even more compelling as both scientific research and anecdotal evidence have confirmed what common sense told many of us all along: abortion does not just stop a beating heart; it breaks a mother’s too. Far from being the panacea it was marketed as being when first legalized, we now have over thirty years of irrefutable evidence documenting how much more harmful this procedure is to women than ever expected. It is as much for those women wounded by this experience as those whom TNN has been able to help that caring individuals are invited to invest in TNN’s future. TNN was founded to ensure that the “choice for life” is truly available to every woman faced with the crisis of an unplanned pregnancy. By making TNN’s toll free number (1-800-TNN-4MOM) and Web site (www.nurturingnetwork.org) easily accessible and free of charge to those whose own support networks have let them down, TNN has become a liberating and life-affirming reality for literally thousands of mothers and children. TNN’s goal is to empower each pregnant woman to nurture her child’s lifeÃ?¢??without compromising her own. TNN has managed over the years to bring both sides in America’s cultural war to a constructive common ground in which collaboration through compassionate service is both possible and effective. As the founder wrote in TNN’s first Member brochure, “Those who support choice, can hardly reject creating another choice; those who support life, can hardly reject an alternative made real.”
