Why ProLife has to be Pro Women

The ProLife movement has got to meet head on the claim that we are not Pro Woman and educate the the non-pro woman elements in our ranks.  To be ProLife, we have to support women.  There has never been a woman who skipped up to an abortion clinic saying "Yeah! I get to have an abortion".  It goes against our nature.  The forces in the past that denigrated a woman who had an unwanted pregnancy and made her a permanent second class citizen for having a baby out of wedlock, were anti woman and not ProLife.  ProLife should, and does in many cases, support these women now.  Many pro life group work to help them bear the burden of bringing the child into the world and either give the child up or get started as a new parent.  Abortion supports the idea that the mistaken pregnancy is so wrong and so shameful that the woman's child has to be sacrificed.  How does that empower a woman?  It says you did something so wrong you now have to go against your very nature.  We are designed to want to protect our offspring.  Even those who reject God and the idea he made us must agree that we by our nature want to protect our children.  To make a woman believe that an abortion is something that won't effect her, is wrong.  It goes against how we are.  ProLife understands and wants to help and support these women.

 Abortion, like suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and just as unfortunate.  We need to work within our culture to promote the idea of the woman who decides to give her child life ia a hero.  If she doesn't want to raise the child, we should congratulate, support, and thank her for giving her child up for adoption.  We need to make that choice attractive, and promote that idea in our culture.   If churches would create a fund to support these women while they are pregnant and do what they to make their lives better after they give the child up that might help.  At the very least we can promote this in the media.

Until we take charge of this issue of being pro woman, the otherside will continue to promote the idea that this is still the 1950s and women have no control over their lives and so have to hide an unwanted pregnancy through abortion.  Maybe the truth is that the otherside finds the idea that women are human and flawed and make mistakes so appalling that they are ashamed of the woman and think she should hide the evidence.  Women are human and there will be unwanted pregnancies.  We need as a culture to accept this idea and support women to do what is best for them.  Bring their child to term and either keep the child or give it up.  They say we are anti woman because we don't accept abortion.  I say that what we don't accept is the idea that women need to be made to suffer for an unwanted pregnancy.

Crisis Pregnancy Clinics

Today I got an email from a group that I often get emails from to sign petitions to save wolves in Yellowstone or some other enviromental call to action. Today I got an email from them to sign a petition to limit funding for Crisis Pregnancy Clinics. Their claim was that these clinics were fooling women into coming in when they really wanted an abortion. So What! Too Bad! If a woman really wanted an abortion she could leave and got to the nearest abortion mill and get one, no one is holding her captive. All they want to do is make sure that she knows the alternatives and allow her to make a truely informed decision. How will letting a woman know the stage of developement of her child limit her ability to procure an abortion? If she still wants an abortion after she has all the facts she can still leave the Crisis Pregnancy Clinic and get an abortion. After a woman has an abortion, all the information in the world will not bring back her child. Imagine if you were a woman with an unwanted pregnancy and you thought you couldn't afford the healthcare costs to bring the child to term and then either keep it or give it up for adoption? Imagine if you stepped into an abortion clinic, would they tell you your options? Or would they take your money, tell you, you were doing the right thing and murder your child? Imagine then if you stepped into a Crisis Pregnancy Clinic. There they would help you to know your options and to help you get the assistance you needed to keep your child. Even then it is still the woman's decision what to do. Which place would you like to go to? Where would you like your daughter to go to?

I really wonder about enviromentalists who push the abortion cause. Do they hate people that much? Do they so want to save the enviroment that they want to destroy humanity. Or do they think that the people who find themselves in an unwanted pregnancy aren't good enough to reproduce? Liberal elitism at it's worst.
