On Being Pro-Life
Today’s my 24-week OB appointment. I’ll sit in a room of women choosing to keep their babies. Waiting to hear heartbeats. Phones ready to facetime spouses, record the happy sounds.
Friends, I’ve sat in the opposite. As a young pro-life activist, in waiting rooms of women lined for their abortions. Faces down, phones open to distract the fear. I’ve heard their regretful stories, the antithesis of choice.
Yesterday I wrote about the privilege of raising boys. What about the millions of aborted boys (& girls) who will never see their mamas face? Never have the chance for sharing their gifts with us? I can barely type without crying.
As a Christian Catholic healthcare professional, I want you to know the truths of medical ethics I’ve studied. What it means to uphold the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death. Why we don’t believe in contraception, death penalty, euthanasia, or abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. If you’re confused or conflicted at all, seek answers.

Know the world has played our words, disguising pro-choice as a façade to women. Know how the true pro-life movement supports life in and out of the womb, & empowers women with full transparency, encourages the “right to informed decisions.”
Know there’s true healing to be found. For yourself, for anyone. Google Rachels Vineyard.
Be empowered with knowledge. Join the battle for life in whatever way the Lord calls. Is silence not inaction?
