Every day, women are being sold the lie that abortion is their only option. As the Women’s Health Protection Act was discussed in the House of Representatives, pro-abortion members accused the pro-life community of being pro-birth only, not pro-woman. According to JMIR Public Health, as of 2020 there are 2,527 crisis pregnancy centers operating in the United States. This number dwarfs the amount of operating abortion clinics and reveals the generosity of local communities. The pro-life movement is not only about fighting for the lives of babies, but also about providing mothers, fathers, and families with support and encouragement to embrace unexpected children. Americans United for Life exists to advance the right to life in culture, law, and policy, and while our presence is strong in Washington, DC and state capitals, our work would not be complete without champions for life who engage daily with families facing unplanned pregnancies. AUL Government Affairs Counsel and pregnancy resource center director Lisa Hogan discuss the legal and practical approaches to holistic care for women.
