4 Ways to Stop Arguing about Abortion and Start PREVENTING IT

4. Mentor Disadvantaged Boys

Cara concludes this with urging pro-life advocates to be involved in people’s lives — especially young, poor boys:

Most abortions occur in poor communities, where stable families are not the norm. Kids who grow up without mutually supportive parents don’t know how to be mutually supportive as adults. This hurts women more than men, as it leaves them to raise children on fewer resources with less help.

To repair this injustice, boys need to be taught responsibility. More specifically, they need to be taught how not to abandon women. But who will teach them? Ideally, it would be their own parents, but we know this is not always going to happen. Somehow, kids in poor communities need contact with stable, responsible adults. Teachers are already spread too thin, especially in struggling schools.

That gives YOU an opportunity to speak into the lives of people with less than you.  Believe me, it’ll pay off dividends in the long run…  and maybe the time you spend with these young men can help save lives in the future!
