Fellow Pro-lifers, what are you doing to help reduce the number of abortions?

Question

Are you talking to your friends and letting them know that you oppose abortion? Are you informing others of the alternatives to abortion? Are you working to make it easier for pregnant women to continue their careers and education--by making sure that schools and companies provide changing tables, maternity leave, child care, etc.? Are you staying informed on the issues so you can refute the arguments of abortion supporters? Are you voting pro-life? Are you protesting at abortion clinics? Are you writing your representatives urging them to stop funding Planned Parenthood and abortion? Are you writing letters to the editor? Are you volunteering at crisis pregnancy centers? Are you donating to the pro-life movement? Are you considering adoption? If you are religious, are you raising the issue of abortion at your place of worship? In short, what are you contributing to the cause of the unborn? There's a role for all of us to play, and it's important that we find and fill that role.

Abortion supporters--save your time. This is a question for those who oppose abortion.

Alli, as a matter of fact, pro-lifers have opened thousands of pregnancy resource centers to help pregnant women. They offer food, clothing, shelter, money, diapers, adoption information, pregnancy tests, health care referrals, and counseling even after abortions--all for free. Check out http://NationalLifeCenter.com. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand performs more abortions than any other organization and distributes the worst condoms available--see Consumer Reports. Oh, and of course Planned Parenthood's biggest revenue generator is abortion. 260,000 abortions x $400 = a lot of blood money.

Answer 1

seriously if you haven't adopted then you're not pro-life

The whole point to being pro-choice is there are too many unwanted children brought into this world.

The solution for pro-choicers is to allow women to make the choice to abort if they are carrying an unwanted child.

The only real solution that a pro-lifer could offer is to adopt all unwanted children if you haven't adopted you are not really pro-life just anti-choice

Answer 2

Why are the pro-lifers trying to mix religion in with politics considering that according to the First Amendment of the Constitution states that there is supposed to be a separation between church and state? Why can't the decision be between the woman and God? I agree that there needs to be more information and opportunities out there to help women. Maybe if women were afforded more options they would not have to resort to abortion. Why attempt to stop funding Planned Parenthood when they also give prenatal care and ob-gyn services to many women who would otherwise have no health care? Are the Pro-lifers willing to start a free clinic to help these women out? Are we treading upon a dangerous road when we introduce religious convictions into politics? Let the woman decide at the very least.

Thanks for the update and the information. It's too bad that many don't know about the options available to them. I still think that the matter should be between the woman and God, but maybe if more options and help were put out there things could be better for everyone.

Answer 3

there are several things that can be done to be active in the pro life movement. I have done some of these things....
1. Direct personal involvement...open your home to a pregnant girl, open your home to an "unwanted"child, volunteer time with organizations, donate materials, teach your children and other young people to say no to premarital sex.
2....Educate yourself
3...Write letters to your state and political people
4...Refuse any indirect or business support of abortion clinics and explain your refusal. Boycott pro abortion companies, landlords of abortion clinics, and businesses that share space with clinics.
5...Picket, make signs, organize or participate in a life chain, join rallies and marches, or attend pro choice rallies as a counter demonstrator.
6..Start something like..baskets for babies, have pro life people post signs all over your neighborhood with addresses of people willing to take the baby with no questions asked and have them put up for adoption.

Answer 4

i'm professional-existence yet do no longer choose planned parenthood to bypass away. They do have their purposes of combating being pregnant and gynecologic look after little or free of charge. I do think of we choose basically slightly extra regulation interior the abortion technique at the same time with minors wanting person consent or person notification a minimum of so parents be attentive to of this occasion of their youngster's lives. or a counseling consultation and consider of the ultrasound in the previous hand - being pregnant (rather to a young person) does not quite click till you notice the ultrasound. i think of every physique searching for an abortion needs to have all the information to make an knowledgeable determination. no longer a walk out and in form of project.

Answer 5

The alternative to abortion is not conceiving unless one is ready, willing, able, and in an appropriate, married relationship to have a baby. When enough babies exist in your own life, sterilization.

Abortion is a failure of one or more of the above.

If the pregnant woman cannot find a way to further her education in the world AS IT IS, she (and her husband) are not ready to be parents.

In fact, in this materialistic and selfish society, I don't think many are prepared to be parents. On this planet of 6.5 billion people, "Be fruitful and multiply" is the means of certain death.

What am I doing? Vasectomy at age 22, as I realized that I was not made of "the right stuff" to both support and guide a child properly, and thus did not wish to participate in causing one.

I'm supporting the right of the unborn to remain that way.

Answer 6

wow...
abortion should be legalized so every person has a choice, such as in date-rape in which someone gets pregnant... horrible... stem cell research should be legalized go even the abortioned ftus can help benfit others... read the book freekonomics and u'll find out that places were abortions are iligal more crimes happens...
the worst family relation is 1 were the child is unloved and unwanted...
the best way to put a stop to it is planned parenthood and sex-ed not protests - that defeats the purpose of it all and badgering the clients doesnt help - duh

Answer 7

For all of you who say that you are pro-life Where were you when the death penalty was passed?? How many babies have you adopted or at least had as forster chidlren?? How many times have you told a young mother who made a mistake that her altrnative to abortion was you adopting her child and making sure that it got the care that she couldn't give?? How many of you help women who have placed thier child for adoption either keep in touch or find them when they're old enough?? How many of you go to a group home of forster children an mentor at least one of them???? Until you do those things don't tell me that you're pro-life? Pro-life means more than being anti-abortion. It means being Anti-death penalty Life is Life and you don't get to pick and choose which life you would save and which isn't worth saving that's for God if there is one. How many of you go into depressed neigborhoods and show the girls there that they have something other than having babies to prove that they can offer something to socitey?? You guy's say that you're anti- abortion it's not really the baby that you want to save pre-say it's because there is a lack of "White" babies for all of the parents who want one. You guys couldn't care less about the babies who aren't white. You just want white babies so that white couples don't have to go aboard to get children. If all of you really were pro-life than there would be less minortiy babies left in agencies that can't find them permant homes. There wouldn't be older children who've been in forster homes for years becuse no one will adopt them.

Answer 8

I just had a debate of this sort in my class. The only thing the other side was able to come up with was "If a women is raped, she should have the right to an abortion". We crushed them, but all and all, on a political stance, aboriton should be legal if its used to save a womens life, after all, its her choice if her life is more important than her childs. Otherwise, adoption is always avaliable to anyone, and there is no real reason to kill the child.

Answer 9

While I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion, I feel the need to express mine in a firm manner but in an appropiate way. Yes, I have done countless research projects as part of multiple courses taken in university and I am AWARE of this subject matter and I believe that ABORTION should be banned regardless of perspective (whether religious, ethical, social, personal, etc.). I hope that I have insured your security that this matter will not be forgotten easily.

Answer 10

I am pro-life and would tell anyone that I believe abortion is murder plain and simple. I have supported Rock for Life in the past, but lately my attention has been on the war. Being pro-life does not just mean bieng anti-abortion. It also means being anti-war and anti-death penalty.
