The only way you can avoid a shared responsibility in a decision to abort is to take a stand against abortion, i.e., to be “pro-life.”

Amen! Absolutely.

I had a bumper sticker on my car a number of years back that said:

PRO-WOMAN, PRO-CHILD, PRO-LIFE

I got mixed responses from other drivers. Some would honk and give a thumbs up and others, like one woman I spoke to at the post office, who actually commented on it, disapproved - not because it said Pro-life but because it said Pro-Woman. She thought it was too "feminist". I think we forget sometimes that there IS a woman involved and not just the unborn child and that abortion truly damages her, as well. That is why I supported and volunteered at our local Crisis Pregnancy Center because it gave tangible as well as emotional and spiritual support to the woman as well as her baby. She was empowered by learning about her baby, the reality of abortion and its risks and heartaches, the positive choices she DID have that she could live with afterward and which involved the entire family support system that she needed to see her pregnancy through instead of what was sold as a convenient way to be "rid" of it.

As pro-lifers we MUST be more that speakers of that truth but DOERS, too. Many times the pro-abortion/anti-life forces accuse us of only caring about the unborn baby and not the needs of the mother. Let's prove to them more than we ever have in the past that this is untrue and unfounded.

A great proponent of life is Dr. David Reardon. He said something that struck me as quite profound and a worthy cause we should all strive for and it is that when the truth about abortion is finally known and society fully aware of the great evil and damage abortion causes to ALL areas of life it won't have to be made illegal because it will become UNTHINKABLE. May this truly be our goal with the help of Almighty God!
