Abort73.com began with a simple ambition: to completely change the way that students and young adults think about abortion. Why? Because changing the way people think, changes the way people act. We’ve been at it for a couple years now, and while that simple goal remains in tact, almost everything else is about to change dramatically. Though that may be a frightening prospect for those of you who have come to love Abort73 as it is, just wait. It’s going to get a whole lot better. You needn’t think of it as massive change; think of it as massive improvement! By God’s grace, that’s exactly what it will be.

The first change (albeit a slight one) is right in front of you. We’ve moved the delivery date for our quarterly newsletter up a month (and skipped the winter issue in the process). You can now expect Maximum Vapor to arrive each March, June, September and December, and since our mailing list has now climbed past 2,000, we’re going to save some money by sending them bulk mail. More significantly, you may also have noticed an address change. Last summer, we moved our day to day operations from southern California to northern Illinois. On January 1, we pulled out of California completely and started processing all donations through our Idaho address. Why the changes? The first was to help us stretch our ministry dollars (by leaving behind the excessive business and living costs of Los Angeles). The second change owes to the fact that we can no longer sufficiently manage all of our accounting tasks in house. As such, we’ve outsourced that portion of the ministry to a very capable firm in Moscow, ID (the same firm that was so instrumental in getting us incorporated and tax-exempt in the first place). We’ll now be able to invest more of our limited staff hours into the real work of the ministry (instead of into keeping the books).
