Pro-life men are especially under attack. Live Action News contributor Adam Peters <a href=\"\/news\/no-sexually-active-women-arent-scary-coerced-abortions-are\/\">came across<\/a> a Twitter conversation full of typical pro-abortion talking points. In it, a woman claimed &#8220;men fear sexually active women &amp; the power that has,&#8221; after sharing her concern that if women didn&#8217;t have access to abortion they&#8217;d be &#8220;more fearful to take lovers&#8221; because the lack of abortion availability would &#8220;undermine sexual freedom.&#8221;\u00a0It&#8217;s one thing to involve oneself in the abortion debate to protect the lives of innocent preborn children\u00a0and their\u00a0mothers, who may be emotionally or physically harmed from their abortions. It&#8217;s another thing to spend so much time concerning\u00a0oneself with the idea\u00a0that &#8220;men fear sexually active women&#8221; &#8212; causing many to\u00a0wonder what kinds of men, if any, these abortion advocates know.<\/p>\n<p>The abortion industry\u00a0sells the abortion as a quick and easy fix\u00a0for the problem of\u00a0an unplanned pregnancy. But if a woman suffers afterwards as a result of her abortion (<a href=\"\/news\/no-post-abortion-syndrome-is-not-a-myth\/\">as many do<\/a>), that industry\u00a0isn&#8217;t there to help her. Instead, her negative experience is\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/abortion-advocates-dismiss-women-who-suffer-after-abortion\/\">dismissed and written off<\/a>\u00a0by those who claim to be pro-woman. Abortion advocates\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/cecile-richards-wants-women-talk-abortion-wont-listen\/\">don&#8217;t want to listen to<\/a>\u00a0women who regret their abortions. It is instead\u00a0the pro-life movement which offers healing programs and support groups for post-abortive women, like\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rachelsvineyard.org\/\">Rachel&#8217;s Vineyard<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.silentnomoreawareness.org\/\">Silent No More<\/a>,\u00a0as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.secularprolife.org\/2013\/05\/secular-options-for-abortion-healing.html\">secular resources<\/a>. Where are the &#8220;pro-woman,&#8221; pro-abortion advocates when the &#8220;quick and easy fix&#8221; goes horribly wrong?<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd1\">\n<p><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_by_250_top_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0\" class=\"ArticleAd1a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Women who are facing unplanned pregnancies may never have suspected it could happen to them, and they may even feel shame about their pregnancies\u00a0&#8212; perhaps because they\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0want people to know they&#8217;re\u00a0sexually active in the first place. In this case, having an abortion can\u00a0seem like an attractive option. And the abortion industry will assure women\u00a0that it is the best option, instead of rallying to them\u00a0and reminding them\u00a0of how strong they are\u00a0and that they can make it through pregnancy. Instead, the\u00a0abortion industry will happily take the woman&#8217;s cash and leave her\u00a0in the same place she was before &#8212; with no support system whatsoever, should she find herself in that situation again.<\/p>\n<p>Besides\u00a0the abortion industry, some\u00a0men who impregnate women are also happy for the &#8216;quick fix&#8217; abortion provides. For them, it is a solution to getting out of fatherhood. (These\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/tag\/bro-choice\/\">&#8216;bro-choice&#8217; men<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/bro-choice-guys-need-abortion-because-dude-your-sex-life-is-at-stake\/\">received<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/real-life-bro-choice-jj-reddick\/\">some<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/bro-choice-filth\/\">attention<\/a>\u00a0during Summer 2013 when Texas&#8217;s pro-life laws were being debated and passed.)<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of reasons not to have sex with someone and not to get pregnant &#8212; some may be religiously motivated, and some may not. But when\u00a0a woman becomes pregnant and visits a <a href=\"http:\/\/optionline.org\/\">pregnancy center<\/a>, it does not matter to pro-lifers if she is married\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0she is still treated with love, and so are\u00a0her children, born and preborn.\u00a0Pregnancy centers offer women\u00a0sonograms\u00a0(a chance to see\u00a0their babies), as well as referrals to healthcare of various kinds. It does not matter who the child&#8217;s mother is or what decisions she made, because that child is a blessing who is entitled to the same right to life as the rest of us are. Many of these centers even\u00a0offer help to women who\u00a0have already chosen abortion and regret it. If these pro-lifers were truly as judgmental as pro-abortion advocates have accused them of being, they would instead spend their time criticizing women who become pregnant out of wedlock or those who aborted &#8212; not helping them.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/preview\/mmwrhtml\/ss6410a1.htm\">85.3 percent<\/a> of women who had abortions were unmarried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/unmarried-childbearing.htm\">and 40.2 percent<\/a> of children born were born to unmarried mothers, according to the CDC. Thus, there is a strong likelihood that the very women being helped by pro-life pregnancy centers and maternity homes are\u00a0unmarried. (So much for judgment and condemnation.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd2\">\n<p><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_BY_250_mid_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0\" class=\"ArticleAd2a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>April Horton, who participated in Babies Go to Congress 2016, became pregnant while unmarried and working at a pro-life pregnancy center.

Imagine being a single mom already and working at a place that teaches abstinence and there I was single and pregnant. <em>I had been there only a few months when I had to tell them I was pregnant. I thought about not telling them, I thought about hiding it but I knew it wasn&#8217;t going away. \u00a0When I talked to the ladies at the pregnancy center about my pregnancy, they never looked at me like I couldn&#8217;t do it. They didn&#8217;t fire me or turn their backs and walk away from me.<\/em>\u00a0They stayed true to their mission that they love every girl that came through their doors with the kind of love that only Jesus could have given. <em>They offered encouragement and support.<\/em> The pregnancy center was a safe place. A place to support me when I was terrified and felt alone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The personal experiences of women dealing with\u00a0unplanned pregnancies, including my own experience with help from the Catholic Church, is a testament to the real nature of the pro-life movement &#8212; one which is not judgmental.
