As a pro-lifer, I am rejoicing that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, but there is more that needs to be done. Many women will now be forced to carry babies to full term and will be in dire need.
Unfortunately experience has shown me that many pro-lifers are are not so willing to help financially. There are many organizations that help women with an untimely pregnancy. Pro-lifers, as an act of thanksgiving, should consider becoming a donor, not just a one-time donor, but a monthly donor! They must put their money where their mouthes are!
Now is also the time for legislators to take action. Enact laws that hold men responsible for unwanted pregnancies. They should be held responsible for the child they had a part in producing. Even more important, promote chastity! Require that chastity be taught in any sex education course. Teach responsibility. Teach boys and men that they are not really being a man if they cut and run on a women they made pregnant.
Parents, monitor what movies your kids are seeing. If a movie makes light of promiscuity, forbid your kids from seeing it. Young people make up a major portion of movie attendees. If they are not allowed to see these movies, maybe Hollywood would clean up its act.
