By now you’ve probably heard about the “Women’s March” that took place the day after Donald Trump was sworn in as president. The stated goal of this march was to send a message to the new administration that “Women’s rights are human rights.”
This doesn’t sound so bad, does it? Well, let’s look at the fine print.
According to the Women’s March website, part of their mission is to “stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.”
They go on to explain further in one of their Unity Principles:
“We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services.”
To this end, both Planned Parenthood and NARAL are partnering with the Women’s March to push their pro-abortion agenda.
In other words, the Women’s March was nothing more than a pro-abortion rally disguised as a pro-women’s march.
But if we’ve learned anything since Roe v. Wade, it’s that abortion is not pro-women. Consider the following:
An estimated 65% of women seeking an abortion feel coerced by their partner, husband or family. Is that really reproductive choice?1
40% to 60% of women who’ve undergone an abortion later report suffering from some combination of depression, drug abuse, grief, and guilt. Where is the empowerment in that?2
More than half a million baby girls are aborted each year in America. Do they not deserve a voice?
When it comes to empowering women, Human Coalition is on a mission to give women real choices. We don’t assume that every woman is the same—they each face unique circumstances and carry their own struggles. So we meet them where they are and educate them about their options.
Planned Parenthood claims to be pro-women, but when it comes to long-term, meaningful care, they come up short.
Human Coalition, on the other hand, provides life-affirming counseling, along with help obtaining financial resources, employment services, childcare support, and housing and material assistance.
Our clinics address the emotional and physical issues abortion-determined women face, so choosing life is the most natural and beneficial choice for both mother and baby.
Now that’s empowerment!
The mainstream media was all over the Women’s March, praising its advocacy and pushing its agenda. But when you get right down to it, the Women’s March does not represent the vast majority of America. (80% of women believe late-term abortion should be banned.3) Nor does the March know what hurting women really want or need.
Hurting women are not healed by a one-day March, but by being empowered with the tools they need to face their challenges, head-on.
