Many choose abortion out of fear. Perhaps they feel uncertain as to how they can care for their baby and might not have enough support, leading to a sense of desperation. Many never imagined they would ever consider abortion but feel as if their backs are against the wall, leaving them no choice.
Live Action, an influential life-affirming organization, created this video testimony of a young woman who felt she had no other choice, and yet God intervened!
It is essential to support and care for women in need through your church’s life-affirming ministry. Your team can provide help in various ways, such as:
- Listening to her fears and identifying ways to alleviate some of the root causes.
- Providing necessary material resources.
- Helping her brainstorm viable ways to move forward for herself and her baby.
- Showing her that you are committed to journeying through life with her.
- Being a source of encouragement.
Most women do not want to choose abortion; they often feel as if they have no other options. Our role is to show her love and tangible support to help her overcome overwhelming obstacles.
Remember, nothing ever stays the same, and things constantly change. We can help her rise above the immediate crisis and encourage her to think beyond just today. She is stronger than she believes, and there is hope even in the most hopeless situations. Just as we have all gone through critical moments, having someone in your corner who is committed to being with you can make all the difference in the world.
You can be that person!
