Help spread the pro-life message

There are so many ways to witness to the dignity of human life!  The most important thing is to follow these first two steps: First, pray about it!  All of our efforts to bring the culture of life must be guided and nourished by God's grace.  Second, start small, but just start!  So many people want to do things to help the pro-life cause, but they get caught up in grand ideas that never materialize.  It's important just to start witnessing in small ways.  You'll never know how much impact those little things truly have.

Once you've begun your pro-life witness, it is a good idea (a third step) to seek out like-minded people for support and encouragement.  Then perhaps (step four) your small circle could form a respect life committee at your church, or a local chapter of a pro-life organization and begin some activities in your community.

Below are just a few examples of what can be done to build the culture of life.  Remember, START SMALL!
  • Pray daily for an end to abortion and all the attacks on human dignity.
  • Love your children and teach them about the sanctity of all human life.
  • Assure your children that they should never be afraid to come to you with their concerns and worries.
  • Educate yourself!  (see "Learn more about pro-life issues" below)
  • Display the ILoveBabies.org ribbon on your car.
  • Place a pro-life bumper sticker on your car.  (Check out Heritage House for a vast supply of pro-life products.)
  • Wear precious feet pins.
  • Carry emergency phone number cards with you at all times.  (You never know when you may encounter someone who needs that information.)
  • Take part in local pro-life events.  (Click here for activities in our area.)
  • Give time, money and/or items to crisis pregnancy centers (like our local Women’s Care Center).
  • Call and/or write letters to politicians urging them to introduce/support legislation that would restrict abortion and support abortion alternatives.  (For legislative alerts and contact info., check out National Right to Life's Legislative Action Center.)
  • Mentor a young person.
  • Start a respect life committee at your church or local chapter of a pro-life organization in your community.

Help women in need

For women facing a crisis pregnancy...

Helping women in need is a vital part of efforts to support life.  For some ideas of how to help women facing a crisis pregnancy, check out our help page.

For women who have had an abortion...

Women who have already had an abortion also need love and support.  For some great advice be sure to check out these two sites: Do’s and Don’ts and How to Listen.  For information on Rachel's Vineyard, a ministry of healing for people hurt by abortion, please check out our help page.

For mothers who don't have the support they need...

Sometimes we are presented with opportunities to help mothers in need but don't know what to offer.  Here are some things that you can do:
  • Pray for her!
  • Bring her a meal
  • Buy her clothing items (for the children and perhaps just for her)
  • Offer to babysit
  • Give her your phone number for emergencies
  • Buy her a bag of diapers
  • Offer to teach her child care skills (if she needs this)
  • Call her and ask her how she is doing
  • Start a single moms support ministry in your church
  • Men could offer to spend time with the children to provide them with a positive male influence
