September 12, 2026, is the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. Across the country, and in communities beyond the United States, people will gather at gravesites and memorials to pause, pray, and remember children who have been lost to abortion. In this powerful conversation, Michele Cheresnick is joined by Karen Ellison of Deeper Still and Kellye Duke of the National Memorial for the Unborn to explore the importance of abortion healing, remembrance, and redemption.
