Pro-Life Couple Rescues Mexican Children From Drugs and Prostitution

Connie and Tyler Youngkin don’t just claim to be pro-life. For thirty years, they have lived a truly pro-life life. With their own children already raised, the Youngkins currently live in Tijuana, Mexico, rescuing kids off the streets and saving them from lives steeped in drugs and prostitution.

LifeSiteNews relates the Youngkins’ story:

A rescued child from Ninos De La Promesa celebrates Christmas.

Interestingly, Connie was first introduced to the realities of abortion by a neighbor who sat her down when Connie commented on how “nice” Margaret Sanger was. Once armed with the truth, Connie took matters into her own hands. She and Tyler, a doctor, helped to found a pregnancy center that still serves women and children today. Connie also started working with Operation Rescue outside abortion clinics, where she was arrested. Connie willingly admitted that she had committed a crime:

Connie faced charges more than once in her rescuing career. Once, a judge ordered her to stop using the word “baby” as she argued her own defense. In a courtroom, she explained:

During Connie’s days in jail, she again took matters into her own hands, refusing to let the truth be silenced:

Even in Mexico, the Youngkins and their Mexican children work to stop abortion. They educate others on the humanity of unborn children with pro-life signs and literature. No matter where life is found, the Youngkins believe in embracing and loving it.

Karina Irene visited Niños De La Promesa and reported on the incredible work the Youngkins are doing in Tijuana:

Biola University regularly sends students down to help at the Youngkins’ orphanage. Named “Niños De La Promesa” (Children of the Promise), the orphanage allows children to be children and to live a peaceful, joy-filled life. The kids are exposed to the kind of things that all kids should be allowed to do – painting their nails, playing with dogs, blowing bubbles, and doing fun sports activities. They are also provided with an education and taught to give back to their community.

Tyler and Connie Youngkin demonstrate the potential of any committed pro-lifer. When we commit ourselves to saving as many lives as possible, there is no telling where we will go or what we will be allowed to do. The important thing is being willing to answer the call. Lives are at risk all across our nation and around the world. Let us step up and say, “Here am I. Send me.”
