Are you truly pro-life? If you are, you will be out moving mountains to feed America’s children.
You will be digging up your lawn and building greenhouses to provide nutritious care for your community’s children.
You will be holding healthful bake sales to raise $250,000 to $350,000 trust funds to offer women who face an unplanned child.
Congressional bills are rising again, like zombies, to smear low-income children and deny certain Americans access to nutrition, education, health care and housing. Will you allow programming failure again?
The journal Health Affairs states that American babies are 76 percent more likely to die in their first year than babies in other rich countries. Those who survive infancy are 57 percent more likely to die before adulthood. Our pro-life community needs to speak up for born life to stop this disaster. Our present pro-life stance of denying women access to health care is killing young women.
A 2016 National Institute of Health study reported that while maternal mortality fell worldwide, the rate in 48 states of the U.S. rose 27 percent, and nearly doubled in Texas.
Time’s up for political obsession to control women’s bodies and program failure.
