§ What is Pro-Life Unity?

To achieve Pro-Life Unity we will establish standards that we all agree upon, and efforts that we all regularly participate in. By working together we can challenge the culture of death and the apathy which is pervasive in our society.

§ Action Code

Everyday people are contemplating making life-altering decisions, such as changing jobs, quitting or changing schools, or getting married. If they decide not to make one of these changes, years down the road many regret not going through with it. There are quite a few instances in the workplace where you’ll hear people say, “I should have left this job years ago, when I had the chance.” You may even hear, “I wish I would have married him or her. My life would be so good right now.”

If abortion is such a right choice, then why don’t you ever hear people
state that they should have aborted their infant, toddler, or even teenager? It almost seems unfathomable for anybody to seriously say, “I should have killed by daughter or son when I had the chance.” I can’t imagine someone looking into an innocent child’s eyes and think that it would have been better to abort him or her.

Of course, the real reason for the destruction of a baby’s life is the extremely narrow focus many have when confronted with a pregnancy. When someone decides to have an abortion, it seems to be based solely on their situation at that very moment. A wide variety of responses that are given to terminate the life of the baby bear this out: I’m not ready to have a child. I have to finish school. I can’t afford it. It will interfere with my career. I’m too young.

Obviously, sometimes economic and education goals might need to be altered because of the baby. Nearly everybody who is in high school and college are in a lower economic situation than they will be in ten years down the road. If they still are, then there are many social programs to assist them. When someone starts a career, they rarely are in the position or pay level they project themselves to be in someday. Starting at the bottom of a job is commonplace, knowing that someday one has the opportunity to rise in the company or even build their own small business. Why then does a person tolerate the short-term difficulties of attaining a degree or success on the job but do not tolerate the short-term difficulties of having a child. This small picture view isn’t just something that occurred recently with what might be called our “instant gratification” society. Babies have been killed for decades just because those involved were seeing how this affects them at that point.

If a college-age student has to stop attending for a year or two to have and take care of a baby, it really doesn’t matter that much in the long term. Ten or fifteen years from then, I doubt if anyone will care much that they had to skip a year or two of college. But many who have had abortions have long-term memories and regrets for what they did.

So the next time someone who favors abortion holds a baby, they should be asked if they still believe that the mother should have had a “choice” to kill it. In our society, there is a large population of unmarried women who have children. Of course, they are often in situations that many deem appropriate to end the baby’s life before they see the light of day. Where are those people claiming that the child should have been aborted when the baby does see the light of day? I don’t hear them say, “You should have killed your baby when you had the chance.” Maybe even they see the big picture but are not willing to admit it.
