beyond the stethoscope
Dr. Laura Lewis
What is the best way to walk alongside someone challenged by an unexpected pregnancy?
Has your uncertainty caused you to step aside or remain silent when you felt you should have done more? The tension surrounding the issue of abortion has caused many to retreat rather than lean in with the hope and compassion of Christ.
More Than One Choice captures the lessons and insights of a physician who found grace, compassion, and faith while wrestling with one of society’s most challenging matters.
Dr. Laura Lewis
Welcome
After serving as a family physician for twenty-two years and leading Pregnancy Care Canada as Executive Director for a decade, I have entered a new season of writing, speaking, and mentoring. Throughout my career, I have been privileged to walk alongside people during some of life’s greatest joys and deepest challenges, experiences that have profoundly shaped my understanding of compassion, human dignity, and hope.
This website reflects my desire to encourage thoughtful conversations about unexpected pregnancy, abortion, faith, healing, and restoration. Whether you’re here because of my book, a speaking engagement, or simple curiosity, my hope is that you’ll find a place where truth is shared with grace, questions are welcomed, and every person is treated with compassion and respect.
More Than One Choice reviews
"Dr. Lewis has written a book about how to compassionately help someone through an unexpected pregnancy, but her wisdom applies far more broadly than just to this one matter. It will help people build bridges with those who hold opposing views. In the second half of the book, without being judgmental towards a person, Dr. Lewis walks the reader through how a loving Christian can help people with unexpected pregnancies make a wise choice based on their personal values rather than their temporary circumstances."
