TOWNHALL: Empowering Both Mom and Baby With Comprehensive Support
By: Anna Stephens | February 21, 2024
When a woman faces an unexpected pregnancy, often her mind is filled with questions and fears for the future: How will I take care of this baby? How will I provide food, clothing, and basic necessities for this baby, much less myself? Where will we live? How can I escape an abusive partner? How can I continue my career or finish my degree with a baby on the way?
According to the mainstream media, the only answer to her unique circumstances and questions about her future is the so-called “quick fix” of abortion. But where the abortion industry says abortion is your only option, pitting mother against child with no real concern for either, the Pro-Life Movement responds with compassion and a question: What do you need?
We don’t promise a quick fix, because needs are complex, circumstances are difficult, and healing takes time. Instead, we promise to come alongside a pregnant mother in need and her baby, offering support every step of the way along the twists and turns of her journey of motherhood as she plans for her future. We are there to support her financial, emotional, and material needs and to offer her hope and help when no one else around her will. And if she chooses abortion, we’ll still be there to offer her hope and help her find healing. This is what true compassion looks like.
Peer-reviewed research shows 60 percent of women who reported a history of abortion would have preferred to give birth to their children if they had received either more emotional support or had more financial security. No woman should ever feel that abortion is her only option due to lack of material, financial, or emotional support.
