MYTH: “Pro-lifers don’t care
about women, and do nothing to help babies after they are born.”
TRUTH: The reality is just the
opposite – the abortion industry offers women little beyond destroying their
children and taking their money, while pro-lifers actually do quite a lot for
women before during, and after their pregnancies. Consider the following:
-Abortion clinics (even “non-profits”
such as Planned Parenthood, see here)
charge women a fee to abort their babies, and make millions of dollars from
abortion every year. Pro-life pregnancy resource centers, in contrast,
offer their services for free and are staffed by volunteers who donate their
time and money. There are thousands of
pregnancy resource centers, both independent and affiliated with larger
networks such as Care-Net [link],
and they outnumber abortion clinics by a wide margin.
-From the Life Site summary of
Planned Parenthood’s 2013-2013 annual report: “In 2012, abortions made up 93.8%
of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services, while prenatal care and adoption
referrals accounted for only 5.6% (19, 506 [as opposed to 327,166 abortions])
and 0.6% (2,197), respectively. For
every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed 149 abortions.”
-Contrary to misleading
statements from pro-abortion sources (including President Obama), Planned Parenthood
performs NO mammograms.
-Pro-life volunteers provide
numerous services both before AND after the baby is born, including free
maternity and baby clothes, supplies, free or low cost medical and legal
assistance, adoption referrals, parenting support and assistance, and child
care. An increasing number of pregnancy
centers offer free ultrasounds. Some pro-life organizations, such as The
Nurturing Network [link],
even provide help finding employment, housing, and education opportunities to
women.
-Pro-life volunteers have helped
numerous women seeking peace after the trauma of abortion through programs such
as Project Rachel and Rachel’s Vineyard. Abortion providers offer nothing comparable
