Individuals
Whether you are young or old, active in the community or at home, there are things that you can do to help prevent abortions.
Ways an Invidual Can Help
- Pray – our most powerful weapon
- Learn more about pro-life issues such as post-abortion trauma, abortion pill reversal, and others. (See our Basic Information section.)
- Support your local pregnancy center and other pro-life organizations with donations to enable them to carry out their mission.
- Volunteer at a pregnancy center. These centers provide training for client advocates, and also need help with fundraisers, simple repairs, babysitting, and other tasks.
- Bring up abortion in discussions in Bible studies or Sunday school classes.
- When asked for prayer intentions, pray for women who being coerced or tempted to abort, for healing for women and men wounded by abortion, and conversion for those who perform or promote abortion.
- Invite a pro-life speaker to come and speak to a church group or a civic organization like Rotary or Lions Club.
How to learn:
Start with watching a short (15 min) video:
Building a Culture of Life – What can one person do? and subscribe to our Wednesday Word weekly email to begin learning more about pro-life topics.
Live Action has a variety of good information, with lots of videos, and After Abortion is the source to go to for information about post-abortion problems and coerced or forced abortion.
Learn about the resources available for women tempted to abort, or needing healing from abortion. Also spread the word about Abortion Pill Reversal and the healthier alternation to contraception.
Talk to people at your church to find out who else is pro-life. Consider starting a Respect Life church ministry. See Information for Pastors page for more details.
