Since the fall of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, abortion advocates have claimed without proof that those in the pro-life movement will abandon women facing unplanned pregnancies. Many in the pro-life movement already do much to help women and families, but as countless companies begin to incentivize and pay for employees’ abortions in various ways, one pro-life business and one church in particular have outlined their plans to provide real help to families and pregnant women.<\/p>\n

Pursuit \u2014\u00a0a Washington church with more than one location \u2014\u00a0celebrated the fall of Roe<\/em>, calling it<\/a> the end to “50 years of state-sanctioned genocide.” The next day, the church released new policies<\/a> to help employees build a culture of life. Pursuit announced it would pay the adoption travel costs for employees adopting children \u2014 in Washington, out of state, and out of the country. Employees who volunteer for pro-life causes will also be reimbursed for their efforts. In addition, Pursuit will offer free childcare to all full-time employees, and bonuses for part-time employees who become pregnant.<\/p>\n

“If the church can\u2019t celebrate this moment, it\u2019s probably because we have gotten so used to fitting in, that standing out makes us uncomfortable,” Pastor Russell Johnson wrote on Instagram<\/a>. The church also shared a powerful clip of the pastor discussing the fall of Roe v. Wade:<\/p>\n
