4 Ways to Stop Arguing about Abortion and Start PREVENTING IT

4 Ways to Stop Arguing about Abortion and Start PREVENTING IT November 8, 2016

I love this Federalist article which takes the abortion arguments off Twitter and into the real world where it can do some good.  In it, author Cara Valle explains how to actually prevent abortions, with four simple solutions.

1. Help Single Mothers

I can speak from experience.  Being a single mom is not easy.  Anything you can do to make life easier for mothers trying to go it alone will encourage others facing an unintended pregnancy.  As Cara writes:

If you want to make a pro-life impact, do something — anything — helpful for women like this. Offer to babysit or bring groceries; rent out your pool house at a discount; help with gas or car repairs, help with the kids’ school supplies; offer to edit the mother’s resume as she seeks a better job; coach her on job-searching, interviewing well, or getting promoted where she is; help her apply for any public aid she legitimately needs — anything to show her she need not choose between her present and future children.

In other words, you don’t have to go look for unwed mothers, just help those with whom you already have contact.
