Meet the Real Pro-Life Movement

We do nobody favors by living a lie about abortion and human identity. Let’s care for one another better.

‘Reproductive freedom is for *every* body. Period.” That was a recent tweet from NARAL Pro-Choice America (formerly the National Abortion Rights Action League). They were protesting “restrictive” abortion laws in Colombia. “And trans men in particular are offered *no* support under the current legal system,” a previous tweet from the organization complained. A woman who identifies as a man and is pregnant probably needs something better than an abortion. Actual care for the two people involved (when the father, a man, has abandoned them or they haven’t told him) would be actual health care. And abortion is no freedom for the unborn child who dies. The upcoming Mississippi case that will be heard at the Supreme Court is an opportunity for us as a nation to take a saner look at abortion in America and at the alternatives to it. There is freedom in life. Abortion enslaves — a woman, to a lifetime of knowing she ended the life of her child; a country, to this immiseration, preferring abortion to walking with women and families for life.

People know what Planned Parenthood is. Although there is a lot of misinformation about what exactly they do there beyond abortion. Few people know much about the resources to help moms (women) be moms. And that’s a huge opportunity for life.
