We tell people who think that ending their life is a solution to difficulties that “it’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem”. Similarly, for those who feel called to prevent abortions, the messaging should be:
“If you end the life of the human growing in your body, because right now it seems like what you need to do, we can help you through the practical difficulties of pregnancy, childbirth, learning to care for a child. You need not allow a temporary situation of under-housing or a deadbeat dad or lack of finances lead to ending a pregnancy. We do this because five or ten years from now, it is very possible you might regret not having the chance to know the child you conceived.”
I know the Sisters of Life offer this kind of care to pregnant women. I have never interacted with them but I do think they have the right approach. Celibate bachelor priests who are cruel and filled with judgement, who are involved in Pro Life politics, hurt individual women, as well as the cause of protecting life from womb to tomb.
