Roe v. Wade has been overturned. The question of abortion has been returned to the states to regulate. Some states will make abortion illegal completely. Some will make it completely unrestricted. Others will be somewhere in between. Regardless, there are more women now than ever who need help and support. How can we help promote life and empower these women to life-affirming choices? I've collected a few ideas.
You'll see there are levels. Some people can only pray and give money. I say "only" but not that those are not important. They are extremely important!!!! But for those of us who can act, we need to act. On some level, prayer and giving money are easy. Giving of our time hurts more. It demands more. Getting personally involved takes more. Here's something even harder; do you have a Planned Parenthood in your community? We have one just down the street from my church. How can we reach out to them? How can we show grace and compassion to them? Never forget that, for so many women who go to Planned Parenthood for an abortion, they don't think they have any options. They're scared. They're ashamed. They lack support. We can be their support. We can show them that there are options. We can show them love and grace and compassion. The main thing is to get involved. We've prayed for this time and now it is here and we need to stand up and do the work that is now in front of us. Church, let's be the hands and feet of Jesus to these women. What ideas have you had or heard of to support women and families facing unplanned pregnancies? Please share in the comments so we can have even more ideas!
