Seventeen Ways to Make 2017 the Most Pro-Life Year Yet

The last few years have been promising for the pro-life movement. With some setbacks here and there, accomplishments have included 20-week abortion bans, state defunding of Planned Parenthood locations, and the shutting down of numerous abortion facilities across the country. 

With a pro-life president about to take office who has vowed to federally defund Planned Parenthood and appoint pro-life politicians and judges, the hope for a more pro-life society is gaining momentum. 

But we still need to keep fighting and keep showing people that to be anti-abortion is to be pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, and pro-child. Here are 17 simple and more involved ways you can make 2017 your most pro-life year yet:
  1. Switch your profile pictures. Whether on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, a quick change to your profile picture to a pro-life quote or image can make a big difference. Friends who are also pro-life but are afraid to voice it will be inspired by you and could change their photos and become more outspoken. And if people who know you but don’t know you’re pro-life take notice, it can help them to see that pro-lifers are normal, everyday people who aren’t out to hurt women.
  2. Share pro-life news. It’s easy to click “share” on Facebook and “retweet” on Twitter. It only takes a second and you could spread good, pro-life news to your friends and family across social media.
  3. Donate to pro-life groups. There are thousands to choose from. You can donate to a pro-life pregnancy center, a pro-life website, or your local Right to Life group. With pro-abortion groups being backed by celebrities and the government, pro-life groups can use all the support they can get. Planned Parenthood’s CEO makes nearly a million dollars a year, whereas most pro-life workers are volunteers.
  4. Volunteer at pro-life pregnancy centers. Pro-life pregnancy centers are mostly run by volunteers and one paid staff member. It can be difficult to staff their offices and stay open for as many hours as pro-abortion facilities can. Volunteering your time will help them reach more women and girls who desperately need assistance and support.
  5. Pray outside an abortion facility. Many people are intimidated by the idea of standing outside an abortion facility. But this can be one of the best ways to reach women in crisis situations. Women entering abortion centers are often scared and feeling alone. Seeing a kind face who reaches out in peace and understanding can make a big impact. Whether you simply pray or hand out pro-life materials, your presence outside an abortion center can save lives.
