Abortion is erroneous. And the reality is that women are often in terrible situations and abusive relationships when they face pressure to choose abortion. To capitalize on vulnerable circumstances, abortion activists ignore the connection and love that exists between babies and their mothers, declaring abortion is the only choice. At Americans United for Life, we affirm the dignity and incredible capabilities of mothers.
Each summer, Americans United for Life hosts legal fellows and undergraduate interns from around the country, all of whom have unique stories about how they came to join the pro-life movement. Today Abby Balmert, an Americans United for Life Legal Fellow, joins “Life, Liberty, and Law” to share her experience in the pro-life movement. Abby is pursuing her J.D. at Georgetown Law after four years as a policy advisor on Capitol Hill involved with the Pro-Life Caucus. Abby speaks about her unique experiences, including her work with Casa Teresa in Orange County, California, which exists “to provide pregnant women in crisis a loving home to begin their healing journey and to break cycles, transform women and help families thrive through effective, caring residential programs.” We celebrate the movement to affirm and equip women throughout motherhood.
