mostly everyone else just went of on some pro life rampage basically saying that women shouldn't be allowed to make decisions for themselves. I wasn;t aware we were back in the 1800's, let me go put my apron on and start dinner for the little man.
Some asked what do I do? I donate diapers, formula, provide rides to doc. appts. and knit blankets for babies born to poor mothers.
Again I ask, what do you do to help?

I volunteer for a pro-life organization in my area.
I help organize donations of used baby items, such as baby furniture and baby clothes, toys and bottles, etc.
I have given shelter to a young girl in a crisis pregnancy, and helped her with the baby when it was born.
I have donated time as a paralegal, helping people adopt babies.
As for your remark about a woman's right to choose...yes, a woman has the right to choose whether or not to have sex, and whether or not to use protection.
She does not have the right to choose to kill another human being.
Now, get out in that kitchen, and rattle them pots and pans!!

Unfortunately, being a Military Police soldier working 12 hour shifts and paying a lot of bills doesn't leave me time or finances for me to be more active.
If I knew of someone who needed help though I have a lot of resources that I can refer people to when asked.
I do tithe to 2 churches and I know that my money goes to a number of charitible organizations that include helping unwed and disadvantaged mothers.
And, Yes, I still say that if you aren't mature enough or financially able to handle the consequences of having sex than you shouldn't be allowed to have sex.
Children aren't able to handle alcohol and are prohibited from drinking until the age of 21.
Children aren't mature enough to handle driving until age 16 or 17 (depending on the state) so they aren't allowed to drive.
It's so unfortunate that people are so selfish that they want someone else to pay for the problems that they cause themselves.
That's exactly why the prisons are so full.
People not taking responsibility for their own actions and taking it out on other people.
Just like killing babies because you didn't keep your legs crossed.
Rarely do rapes result in pregnancy.
They are the exception, not the rule.
Ask any OB/GYN.
I have.

Most people that do things in the name of God do not tell others. Here is why: They are rewarded in heaven, and not on the earth. That's nice what you do. But are you doing it to help others, or are you doing it to push it on others? Compared to other people's donations that might seem a little puny. Quite frankly, it's none of your business what I have or haven't done, and you need to find another way to get your point across.
~Pro-Life
~Not Anti Pro-Choice
That's right, I'm neither, because it's not my business. I don't believe in it, and I grieve for the babies. But it isn't my choice or my place to tell someone else what they can and can't do. If they ask my advise, I will gladly give it. Otherwise, you are planting seed's in a desert, they will never grow.

I have been a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in the welfare system. I teach computer classes at a retirement center. My husband and I greet arriving refugees at the airport and help them learn English and how to maneuver in their new American environment. My husband reads the local newspaper on a special radio station for the visually impaired. He also transports children to and from the airport for free surgery through a non-profit agency.
I phone many people from our congregation who are sick or disabled to see how they're doing and if I can help in any way.
I drive friends to/from appointments.
I donate to a local women's shelter.
We help cook at a food kitchen.
My husband spends a few nights each year supervising the homeless shelter where the homeless sleep during the cold months.

AS PER YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Pro Lifers tell me one thing you have done after you convinced a poor underage child to not abort her baby....
did you offer to adopt that baby or help her find an adoption agency, did you help walk her through the process or mayhaps you paid her medical bills. Did you offer to provide her with prenatal vitamins throughout her pregnancy? Or buy diapers for the baby after she was born?...
Great logic, and I agree that we do need to put our money where our mouth is and to help out more, but you can't be suggesting that killing someone's child just to get out of the cost of living is sensible. Are you serious? How about telling people not to do the "do" instead so that they won't have to take on their unwanted responsibilities should consequences occur.

No, genius What do YOU do to help!!!!! Nothing, obviously you just sit around condeming others for there opinion. I guess ignorance is bliss or in your case abundant. Women should be able to make decisions for themselves but if not smart enough to DECIDE to use protection then live with the consequences. Believe it or not abortion should not be a form of birth control. Quit trying to make everyone else responsible for someones elses right to choose to have unprotected sex. Apparently, you forget all the help that was provided...like free birth control.

Donate time and money to a pro-life organization that helps unwed mothers with their children so they don't have to abort their children. Donate to my church's adoption program. If I had the time and money, I'd do more. I've seen how abortion can harm a person from my volunteer work and from the fact my mom had an abortion when she was young. She had no choice in the matter. She got pregnant and was forced (you heard me, FORCED) to have an abortion. When she was pregnant with me, she cried when she heard my heart beat (I was the same age as the aborted baby a few months) and knew she had been forced (again, I"ll repeat FORCED) to kill a child.

I give to charities and adoption agencies, I have not had any personal contact with a girl who had to deal with this - I would hope that people who choose to participate in activities that would lead to pregnancy are smart enough to take precautions to prevent such a thing from happening, some sort of contriception.
Abortion is a cop out from taking responsibility for your actions.
