On Thursday evening, Vans for Life, an organization that specializes in equipping and launching mobile pregnancy centers held a gala. At the event, where hundreds gathered, anti-child trafficking activist Tim Ballard spoke about the parallels between the tragedy of sex trafficking and abortion.
Vans for Life was established in 2017 when president Eddie Perez realized that in order to save babies from abortions, he needed to reach pregnant women before they entered the doors of an abortion facility. The vans are “equipped with the ability to offer free pregnancy test, free ultrasound, free resources and free counseling to pregnant girls in need.” Thursday’s event honored the cause, and Ballard made it clear that he fully supports everything Vans for Life does and stands for.
Ballard, whose mission is highlighted in the Angel Studios film "Sound of Freedom," began his speech talking about a 15-year-old girl, Andy, who was stuck in the trafficking industry and was pregnant for a third time, stuck not wanting to abort her baby. Ballard mentioned that the girl confessed, “I don’t care about my life at this point, I am having this child and if I have this child and then they kill me, they can kill me.” Ballard harped on how pivotal a pregnancy center would have been in that child’s life. "My dream is to see these vans everywhere” to help kids like Andy.
Ballard mentioned that “this is the same fight,” that of the child-sex trafficking regime and abortion. “It’s all part of the same evil family.”
“Our children are being targeted in every way right now,” Ballard said. “Children are the targets of the devil.”
The audience let out verbal signs of agreement, many with tears in their eyes.
Ballard included a slide in his speech talking about the left’s attempts to normalize pedophilia in their attack against kids. “The devil always counterfeits what God does,” he said adding how pedophiles, who we’re allowing in our kids' schools to teach sexual content to kids, make parents out to be the villains.
“The content you give our kids under the guise of sexual education is pornography,” he said. “It’s crazy.”
He even talked about gender mutilating surgeries for kids and how insane it is.
“If you can consent at 13-years-old to gender mutilation, what’s the difference? Why can’t you consent to sex with an adult,” he posed.
He’s right. If we’re wishy-washy about allowing kids to make decisions like these, where do we draw the line? Do we let kids decide when they want to drink? No. How about when to start driving? Nope. Yet, the left wants them to make decisions that permanently affect their lives.

Ballard moved on to talk about the parallels between those who advocate for abortion and those who advocated for slavery.
“'My body-my choice,' pro-aborts say, just like 'my property-my choice,' slave owners said. Abortion is slavery in its worst form,” Ballard said before talking about how both evils dehumanize people in an attempt to justify their actions.
“This nation is under a covenant with God," Ballard said in his conclusion. "That’s how the founders built it. So we’re not only helping children by fighting this, but we’re saving the nation cause the nation will come under condemnation."
He also noted an improvised line from "Sound of Freedom" that comes from Luke 17:2.
“Better a millstone be hung around your neck and you be cast into the sea than you should ever hurt one of these little ones,” Ballard recounted. “We know where Jesus stands on hurting little ones. There’s no crueler way to hurt a little one than to crush its life in the womb.”
