So long story short, I used to be pro-choice and made the switch to pro-life a few years back. And you can judge me solely based on that fact and say I don’t care about women’s rights or the poor or whatever, but I am in all circumstances pro-life and not just anti-abortion. I’m the pro-life person you keep asking about: “Where is the pro-lifer who cares about x, y, z?” It’s me, in addition to countless others. I believe in supporting the marginalized and the poor and those that are made most vulnerable by society. I believe in supporting first-time mothers, single or not, when they are scared and don’t know what to do. I believe in supporting expectant mothers who don’t think they can afford to take care of their baby. I believe in supporting people who have been sexually assaulted. I believe in affecting societal changes to make sure that all people have access to good and safe medical care and housing. I believe in restructuring the foster care system so that all children are safe and get the support they need to be healthy and happy. I believe in promoting being a foster parent and adopting (both of which I’m planning on doing myself) as valid and needed so that more people may choose to do so. I believe in making sure people have access to good mental health services. I believe in making sure people have access to rehab centers. I believe that violence against another person for any reason, physical, sexual, verbal or otherwise, is inherently wrong and needs to be eradicated. I believe in keeping LGBTQIA+ youth in their homes (so long as it is safe) and making sure they know Jesus loves them unconditionally as much as the rest of us. And I believe in telling people that no matter what they’ve done, there is always forgiveness and redemption and love in Jesus. And of course there’s always more. Believe me when I say I do care. And I’m going to do something about it. I hope you’ll join me. #IWillNotBeSilent #pro-life #IAmThePro-LifeGeneration #WalkForLife
