These little characters didn&#8217;t seem to know that, however. I was introduced to them at the Nashville Zoo, and from what I could tell, their day revolved around licking hands and snuggling up to visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Petting zoo goats aren\u2019t the only ones defying stereotypes&#8212;pro-lifers do it every day. Abortion advocates like to pretend that we don\u2019t care about women and stop worrying about babies after they\u2019re born, but the reality couldn\u2019t be more different. While we won&#8217;t nibble on your shoe (probably), we do want to help. If you\u2019re a new mom who needs assistance or someone who wants to provide it, the pro-life community has options.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One place to find those options is the appropriately named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.optionline.org\/\">OptionLine.org<\/a>. It features bilingual information about pregnancy along with the ability to chat with a representative. And if you&#8217;re not online, you can still access the site&#8217;s services by texting the word \u201cHELPLINE\u201d to 313131.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.optionline.org\/\">OptionLine<\/a> is its pregnancy help center locator. Pregnancy help centers are places where pregnant women can turn for assistance, particularly when they\u2019re in vulnerable circumstances.\u00a0One of the largest pregnancy center networks is known as <a title=\"Care Net\" href=\"https:\/\/www.care-net.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Care-Net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With local affiliates across the country, <a title=\"Care Net\" href=\"https:\/\/www.care-net.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Care-Net<\/a> provides women with free pregnancy tests, pregnancy information, and material resources. Some locations also offer consultations with licensed medical professionals, ultrasounds for pregnancy confirmation, and testing for sexually transmitted infections.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to giving support, care centers provide opportunities to contribute as well.\u00a0<a title=\"10 helpful ways to support a Pregnancy Resource Center\" href=\"\/news\/dont-want-to-have-an-abortion-weve-got-some-alternatives\/Christina%20Martin\" target=\"_blank\">Christina Martin<\/a> has written about her experience as a center volunteer and compiled <a title=\"10 helpful ways to support a Pregnancy Resource Center\" href=\"\/news\/10-helpful-ways-to-support-a-pregnancy-resource-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">a list<\/a> of ten ways you can be of service. They involve such things as holding formula and diaper drives, donating maternity clothes, and organizing baby showers for center clients.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you can make a pro-life difference simply through what you say, and that includes letting women know abortion isn&#8217;t the only alternative to parenting. Talking about a website called <a title=\"Adoption.com\" href=\"http:\/\/adoption.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adoption.com<\/a> is one way to do that. The site allows couples who&#8217;ve been cleared by a licensed adoption agency to create an <a title=\"How Parent Profiles Works\" href=\"http:\/\/adoption.com\/profiles\/marketing\" target=\"_blank\">online profile<\/a> explaining what they have to offer. One of those couples is <a href=\"http:\/\/adoption.com\/profiles\/MatthewAndAngela_25260-213\" target=\"_blank\">Matt and Angela Bernier<\/a>. Based in Virgina, the Berniers have already adopted a son named Kyle and they&#8217;re hoping to find a sibling for him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Matt-and-Angela-Bernier.jpg\" alt=\"Matt and Angela Bernier\" width=\"671\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Matt-and-Angela-Bernier.jpg 671w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Matt-and-Angela-Bernier-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although I had a good time seeing some of Nashville&#8217;s cutest goats defying their critics, it wasn&#8217;t nearly as rewarding as helping the pro-life community do the same.\u00a0 And the good news is, there&#8217;s no shortage of opportunities to be a part of that. Because whether you need a hand or want to lend one, the pro-life movement has a place for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep. That\u2019s a goat. So is this.
