From TheUnChoice.com -- an evidence-based Elliot
Institute campaign to raise awareness about unwanted
abortions, post-abortion issues and maternal deaths,
plus help, hope and healing. ... The UnChoice. Unwanted.
Unsafe. Unfair.
Update your pro-life message. Make sure fair-goers in
your county see new pro-woman/pro-life evidence,
resources and hope.
Reach 6 groups
of people by adding important new evidence to your
outreach.
 Bring
hope, light and truth -- and new resources -- to your
state and county fair booths this year.
Tell the public that most abortions are
unwanted or coerced -- a risk and a human rights abuse
in its own right -- and dismiss the red-herring rhetoric
about "choice" once and for all. The public has been
kept in the dark about this news, and the results are
tragic and heartbreaking for women and families.
Reach individuals or families who may
coerce or consider abortion with evidence of its
significant physical and psychological harm to mothers,
too. This will deter abortions today, while also helping
to change the hearts and minds of those who hold
"pro-choice" views about abortion.
Have our physical and psychological risks
fact sheets handy, and our help and healing resources
for those who need facts or immediate help -- including
those who are being coerced or those who have already
been hurt by abortion. (See links to these resources in
our list of fair-friendly resources below.)
Forward these resources to your
local fair booth sponsors! Consider volunteering to help
at the booth, or to print and deliver copies. It's a
simple, but powerful effort.
You'll reach important groups of people,
such as ...
-
Those who need help with a pregnancy
or those who need information about anything from
fetal development to available help and resources.
-
Those being coerced or even forced to
abort against their will.
-
The general public who need to hear
the news about unwanted abortions and post-abortion
injury, harm and heartbreak.
-
Those who will be deterred from
having, pushing for or forcing an abortion simply by
seeing the long list of serious aftereffects that
can result, including maternal injury, trauma and
death.
-
Those who need compassion or healing
from an abortion that took place weeks, years or
even decades past (for some, especially teens at
risk of coercion or traumatic aftereffects, you may
even prevent a suicide.)
-
Leaders and advocates in various
sectors of society, including legislative, pastoral,
medical, education, social service and political
sectors, as well as in homes and communities.
