Anti-Lifers often accuse the Pro-Life movement of being simply pro-birth, not actually interested in the well-being of mothers or children once the baby is born. They attempt to use this argument to justify the intentional ending of an innocent human baby’s life through abortion. However, the truth is that Pro-Lifers are concerned for the life and health of the mother and her child, both before and after the baby is born. Texas demonstrates this directly through the state-funded Alternatives to Abortion (A2A) program.
The A2A program was established in 2005 to provide critical social services to expectant mothers while they are pregnant and for up to three years after childbirth, two years post-adoption finalization, and 90 days after the tragic natural loss of a child through miscarriage. The program is comprised of nonprofit pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, and adoption agencies which are reimbursed for the resources they provide, including counseling, child care, maternal supplies, job skills training, adoption, housing placement assistance, and parenting classes. Since its creation, this program has exponentially grown to serve even more Texans across the state. …
Unfortunately, anti-Life Democrats are already planning to attack and kill this program.
[Be sure to read it all. Democrats and progressives want publicly funded abortion, but balk at public funding for those who choose to give birth instead. It’s quite revealing in its own way, although hardly surprising. — Ed]
