'They Don't Know Pro-Life People Well': the Bravery of Pregnancy Centers Facing Threats

"...Most importantly we update our prayer warriors and supporters to put a hedge of protection around us all." "Every pro-life agency has been sounding the alarm. We've had threats before, but It's never been like this, with an administration egging it on and giving credence to these people."

"From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target," the threat read in part. "But until you do, it's open season, and we know where your operations are."

If you think that pregnancy centers are allowing threats like these to keep them from (literally) doing the Lord's work, you'll be surprised at their courage. I spoke with the director of a pregnancy center in Georgia and received some quotes from the chaplain at a center in Ohio. I think you'll be encouraged by what they have to say.

Note: In both cases, I've chosen to keep the names of individuals and centers anonymous for the sake of protection.

I began my conversation with the Georgia pregnancy center director by discussing the lay of the land when it comes to the forthcoming Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

"I think the Court is going to go the way of life and overturn Roe," she told me. "Roe is an obsolete ruling that doesn't function or work. We're not living in 1980; today's pregnancy tests can give women an accurate and positive result at three weeks of pregnancy."

We talked about the fact that overturning Roe will return the issue of abortion to the states. She reminded me that, in the case of Georgia, legislators wrote the law compassionately, the General Assembly passed it, and the governor signed it into law. It's currently facing court challenges, but the Georgia pregnancy center director told me that the next battleground is personhood laws.

"Personhood laws will make everything else obsolete because they'll address the questions of when life begins and ends," she told me. "It's not just about babies in the womb but about the elderly as well and about quality of life. Look at how Iceland has claimed to eliminate Down syndrome, but it's because they've aborted all of them. They're missing out on the joyful, loving nature of people with Down syndrome, along with their almost superhuman capacity for kindness."

"When we try to usurp God, He tends to pick different things that show us our humanity," she added. "We need to pick His values rather than our own."
