“When our grandchildren ask us where we were when the voiceless and the vulnerable in our era needed leaders of compassion and purpose, I hope we can say that we showed up, and that we showed up on time.” Gary Haugen
When it comes to ending abortion, now is the right time to show up.
With more than 65 million abortions carried out in the United States since 1973, the extreme attack on children in the womb has gone on far too long.
Unfortunately, these children have no say in whether they get to live or have their lives taken in abortion. We must be their voice.
Human Coalition has found that 76 percent of moms seeking abortion would prefer to parent if their circumstances were different. This tells us that rescuing a child from abortion usually requires changing his or her mom’s circumstances.
Every pregnant woman in America probably knows about Planned Parenthood or how to go online and have abortion pills shipped to her home in any state. Planned Parenthood is a household name. The abortion industry has created a connection with pregnant moms, and too often they don’t know where else to turn when they are in crisis.
Life-affirming organizations don’t have the name recognition or massive marketing budgets that the abortion industry enjoys. But it’s life-affirming organizations and programs — NOT the abortion industry — that are equipped to change a mom’s circumstances so that she can do what she really wants: parent her baby.
That’s where you come in. Your voice in your church, your community, and online is crucial for raising awareness of the life-affirming options that exist for moms. If more women heard the voice of pro-life advocates like you and organizations like Human Coalition, they would discover that abortion is not their only choice.
Believe it or not, your voice has the power to rescue moms and their babies from the horrors of abortion and the predatory abortion industry.
At Human Coalition, we offer proven, holistic solutions to moms facing circumstances holding them back from choosing life and raising their child.
So, what does it actually look like to engage in this fight for life? Here are four ways:
- Pray.
Pray alone or with others. Start a pro-life prayer group at your church. Join a local 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
Sign up for Human Coalition’s daily prayer devotional HERE.
First and always pray—seeking God’s wisdom in being a voice for life and in how to make a difference. Prayer is a powerful way to change our culture from one of death to life, empowering moms who are frightened because of an unplanned pregnancy to become joyful mothers who choose life for the baby in their womb.
- Be a Pro-Life Advocate in Your Community.
Help make your community aware of local pregnancy resources, such as the pregnancy resource centers in the area. You can ask the center for promotional materials such as pamphlets and flyers to leave on community bulletin boards and at church.
Start a small group in your church using our new Small Group Guide. It’s a 4-week study called “Living Pro-Life: God’s Heart for Every Human Being.” This study equips small groups to explore:
- The sacred value of every life created by God
- God’s healing and forgiveness for those impacted by abortion
- Love in action — practical ways to support moms, children, and families
- Building a culture of life in your church and community
You can find that free resource HERE.
- Learn.
Always be open to learning more about the pro-life movement. There are many resources offering pro-life news, stories, and apologetics. The following are a few good places to begin:
- Raise Awareness Through Social Media.
The key to engaging on social media is kindness and compassion. Share about resources, offer prayers to those who are hurting, and share your own story of pro-life conviction or an encounter you’ve had with abortion.
You can share and engage with Human Coalition’s content on social media HERE. We hope to see you there!
