#supportalllife

I do want to say that this concept of passing laws and making abortion illegal... that’s not how pro-life works, guys. There is so much more needed to actually be pro-life, and... I don’t see that happening. I don’t see these people in suits getting it at all.

The problem is that we live in a culture of death. We tend to value the idea of life, but to really support a culture of life takes a lot more than legislation. It’s going to take problem solving and support for women in bad situations. It’s going to take more than laws — it’s going to take people, a society, that cares a lot about moms and babies, people who want to make a difference. And it doesn’t stop with them.

These people exist. They build crisis pregnancy centers. They volunteer at homes for battered women. They volunteer at halfway houses and soup kitchens. They build centers to help the homeless get back on their feet. But they’re also hidden in plain sight — moms who band together to help one another, carpooling kids. Moms who become car seat technicians to help more kiddos ride safe in the car. Church nursery workers. Nurses who go out of their way for their patients.

Want to do something pro-life? Pick up a package of diapers for a mom you know. Cook a meal for a family. Participate in a fundraiser for a kiddo with special needs who needs therapy that insurance won’t cover or a new wheelchair. Volunteer to spend time at a nursing home with residents who never have any visitors — show them the love they deserve. Show that you value life at every stage, and then you can say that you are truly pro-life.

It’s not just about abortion.
