10 Steps to End Abortion

Source: Priests for Life Website

There are many things you can do to help end abortion, and we provide ten suggestions here, based on some of the most proven and effective pro-life strategies.

1. Pray! Prayer is the foundation of all we do.
2. Promote Alternatives! Be sure to get to know the pregnancy center nearest to where you live!
3. Promote Healing and Testimonies! The pro-life movement and the Church bring healing.
4. Read at least one book about abortion and the pro-life movement this year.
5. Speak Up! Options: private conversation, letters to the editor, blog comments or social media sites
6. Be Politically Active! Get to know the state and federal lawmakers who represent you, and communicate with them about abortion.
7. Expose Abortion! “Have nothing to do with the fruitless works of darkness; rather, expose them!” (Eph. 5:11). A key reason abortion continues is that its violence is hidden.
8. Inform your pastor and other leaders in your Church about how they can help end abortion.
   See www.Prolife.Church for resources on praying, preaching, and mobilizing the Church community.
9. Take to the Streets! participating in a March, Life Chain, or prayer vigil or protest at an abortion mill, you will be advocating for the unborn in a public way,
10. Stay Connected with at least one Pro-life Organization! You can receive action alerts. Support these groups with your donations. Unfortunately, more money is spent in our country killing babies in the womb than in saving them.

As we are in the midst of the GB Diocesan Discipleship Journey “Worship Jesus Years” (2022-2025) and the 3- year USCCB “Eucharistic Revival” we are encouraged to assist in aiming for “a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – and sent out in mission for the life of the world.” By leaning into the Holy Spirit, listening for guidance, may we hear God’s call for us to go out into the world with charity to accomplish His plans for our lives; to witness to others the power of God in our lives; to raise up the voice of those with no voice, power or choice.
