A proponent of the pro-life movement recently contacted our office to inquire about the optimal direction for the movement to pursue one year after the Dobbs U.S. Supreme Court decision overturned Roe v. Wade.
My response to this question is as follows: Proceed with the investigation.
It is incontestable that we are confronted with a plethora of challenges, including an unrelenting abortion industry, extremist politicians, and an all-too-often propagandist media. The considerable sums of money invested in political campaigns to expand abortion services are astounding.
Nevertheless, the truth is on our side.
The reality is that abortion results in the termination of an irreplaceable human life. It deprives a woman of her maternal role and a man of his paternal identity. The consequences of abortion are both tragic and traumatic, and the effects can be felt through generations.
It is imperative to highlight the fact that research indicates that as many as 60% of abortions are coerced. This implies that a boyfriend, husband, parent, or even a human trafficker may be exerting pressure on her to terminate the pregnancy. In numerous instances, women are not making a voluntary decision.
It is also important to disseminate information about the substantial assistance that is available to pregnant women in challenging circumstances. A multitude of pregnancy resource centres across the country are prepared to offer assistance in a wide range of areas, including comprehensive counselling, provision of baby formula and diapers. Women consistently report that, if they had just one individual willing to provide them with support, they would choose to continue the pregnancy and bring their preborn child into the world.
It could be argued that these ideas are not particularly novel, yet it is evident that a significant proportion of the population remains unaware of the fundamental principles espoused by the pro-life movement. By communicating our message in a persuasive manner, we can foster a culture of life that is so desperately needed in our nation.
