Fourteen babies will not be torn limb from limb in their mother\u2019s wombs. Sadler says that these women will \u201cbecome mothers\u201d but, in fact, they are ALREADY mothers. Their unborn babies exist and are alive, and, thanks to the efforts of pro-lifers, they will remain alive.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite my happiness at the thought of these children being saved from abortion, I am a concerned. Because I can\u2019t help but think that if these women can\u2019t afford to abort their children, how will they afford to <em>feed<\/em> their children?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is where Texas pro-lifers need to step up to the plate. There are women who will be having their babies who are no longer able to abort. This is a good thing. But we as pro-lifers need to be there for these women and children.<\/p>\n<p>It has been said many times that pro-lifers only care about children when they are in the womb, and when they are born, they don\u2019t care anymore. I feel bad when I\u2019m forced to acknowledge that the same conservative politicians who fight for the lives of unborn babies often support cuts to programs like food stamps that poor children desperately need. Even though <a href=\"http:\/\/feedingamerica.org\/how-we-fight-hunger\/programs-and-services\/public-assistance-programs\/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program\/snap-myths-realities.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">49% of those on food stamps are children<\/a>, these politicians are taking their benefits away. Single mothers who are struggling to feed their children need help. It is not enough to tell them to have their children and then abandon them and their children after they are born.<\/p>\n<p>There are other ways to help the poor than government programs, of course. There are private charities, such as the Salvation Army, food banks, and crisis pregnancy centers that can help with items that pregnant women and new mothers need.<\/p>\n<p>If every pro-lifer in Texas donated ten dollars to a crisis pregnancy center and donated some items to a food pantry every month, it would go a long way towards helping these women and their children. Even just a little giving, if enough people do it, can have a huge impact.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-lifers in Texas have the opportunity to prove to the country that pro-lifers don\u2019t just care about babies when they are the womb. As pro-lifers, our job is not finished until every baby is safe from abortion. And helping those babies after they are born should be part of the pro-life cause as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read a quote today in from clinic worker Marva Sadler, who works at Whole Woman\u2019s Health Clinic of Fort Worth.
