THE CHRISTIAN POST: If You Want To Stop Abortion, Serve The Mom
By: Autumn Christensen | March 13, 2026
To save the life of an unborn child, we have to serve his or her mom.
For decades, pregnancy centers and maternity homes have remained steadfast in their commitment to serve the most vulnerable, despite opposition and relentless attacks. In 2024 alone, pregnancy centers provided a value of over $452 million in total medical care, support and education services, and material goods.
But serving vulnerable women often isn’t simple or quick. Her needs are complex as she battles financial insecurity, homelessness, addiction — whatever it is — compounded by daily pressure from culture, family, or an abusive boyfriend to have an abortion.
Abortion drugs were responsible for at least 63% of the 1.1 million abortions in 2024. Abortion drug traffickers proudly proclaim that they break the law to mail these dangerous drugs into pro-life states, placing them in her neighbor’s medicine cabinet, her boyfriend’s sock drawer, or into the hands of her abuser, just waiting for the moment when the pressure is too much.
In January, the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions convened a hearing on the dangers of abortion drugs. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill testified with story after story of women who took abortion drugs after being coerced by partners or parents, and women who suffered serious medical complications after taking the drugs. These drugs have been marketed to the American public as safe, private, and empowering, but this hearing showed that nothing is further from the truth. As the ever-looming danger of abortion drugs grows, choosing life requires daily resolve and a community ready to be there for her — no matter what.
