Birth Choice Mission to Save Lives
Birth Choice knows that the best way to save a baby’s life
from abortion is to love the mother. It
is not enough to tell a woman not to have an abortion. It is not enough to explain the dangers of
abortion. It is not enough to speak to
her of what is right. Before that we
must be there to offer the positive and practical solutions to her dilemma.
Time and time again we are told by the young women who come in our offices
because of you I have my baby. Presently we have two wonderful staff members
who were former clients. Birth Choice does that every day. It does that all across the Archdiocese of
Oklahoma City. It is always helping
women. The volunteers at Birth Choice
have chosen to be there for the women who come in day in and day out. They come as young as eleven. They come in with every problem
imaginable. The volunteers speak to
them of the truth.
The name Birth Choice was specifically chosen to attract the
abortion minded woman. This gives us the opportunity to educate them on the
issue of abortion. Many of the women
who come to Birth Choice are either abortion minded, they themselves desire an
abortion or they are abortion vulnerable, they want to have their baby but,
they are coerced by their boyfriend, husband, parents, or friends to have an
abortion.
The evil of abortion is the destruction of an innocent life,
not only the baby’s life but that of the mother’s. Women need to be
protected. There is a correlation
between abortion and breast cancer, along with the many other physical and psychological
dangers women face when they have had an abortion. We have seen the damage done
to all family members. We have also
seen how it has affected society. The
increases of violence, promiscuity, divorce, child abuse and the increase of
sexually transmitted diseases are all evidence of this.
Together we must uphold the sanctity of human life and offer
women with an unplanned pregnancy real life- affirming choices for themselves
and their unborn children. Birth Choice will persevere in our mission in
Oklahoma. Birth Choice pledges to make
these options available to as many women as we can serve.
Abortion on demand and the number of children that have died
because of abortion is the greatest problem America faces today. We must
continue to fight the war on the unborn.
Abortion is an endless battle. It is a silent battle.
The most innocent of all suffer.
We have an opportunity to change the rising tide of abortion. Birth Choice does it daily.
