Pro-Life Leader Kristan Hawkins on the Meaning of Being Pro-Life

“As those of us in the pro-life movement know, abortion is the ‘treatment’ of a ‘problem.’ Women in crisis pregnancies often see abortion as the only solution. When I and others counsel women outside of abortion facilities or at a pregnancy resource centers, the responses we receive are usually the same. The young woman doesn’t want to choose abortion but feels there is no better solution. Applying real Social Justice means that those of us in the pro-life movement who reach out to these scared, pregnant women meet their material and emotional needs first. We need to fulfill our promise of providing her with everything she needs during her pregnancy and beyond, and, in the process, build a long-lasting relationship with her. This way, she doesn’t find herself in the same situation a year from now. This is real Social Justice. This is justice for both the woman and her preborn baby.”

Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director of Students for Life of America
