Dear Friend,
Every innocent human life—whether born or not—is valuable, precious, and worthy of full protection.
But those of us who are pro-life are often told that “abortion is healthcare,” that abortion is a “basic human right,” and that the unborn child isn’t a person with dignity to be protected.
As clear as right and wrong may seem to you about abortion, not everyone agrees. Maybe not even all your friends and family agree. Do you need a guide to help you talk about this critical issue with those you love?
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade—which effectively invented a “right” to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy—in Dobbs. v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization—it gave states the opportunity to protect life.
Some have done that. Over a dozen laws went into effect right after the Dobbs decision, protecting life. Now, nearly two dozen states have passed “heartbeat” laws or better. Tens of thousands of babies have been saved from abortion.
But the challenges are also very real. Many Americans—even in so-called “red states”—still believe the mistaken notion that women need abortion. They’ve said so at the ballot box.
Roe was the law of the land for nearly 50 years. Its hold over our nation won’t be broken overnight.
The conversations you have with friends, family, and neighbors on this issue are as important as ever. Perhaps more so. We want you—and future generations need you—to be equipped to defend life and dispel common pro-abortion myths with truth and grace.
That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free downloadable guide to help you be a voice for the voiceless: Life: 3 Myths & 3 Facts. |
