Catholic Answers wants to help you fight for life.

That's why we have launched this major effort to give a million of this 32-page booklet away FREE Why We’re Pro-Life

Why We’re Pro-Life serves two functions.

First, it provides the words, ideas, and confidence to talk to others about abortion.

Second, it’s a compelling pro-life resource that you can give away to anyone. Why We’re Pro-Life is perfect for this important moment in the fight for life

It addresses the legal and cultural landscape of the new post-Roe world.
It avoids the charge that abortion is a church-state issue in that it appeals only to up-to-date science and to broadly shared beliefs about human rights. Not religion.
It strikes a tone of peaceful dialogue, much needed during a time of rising temperatures in the divisive debate over abortion.

Background

The recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade was a monumental victory for the pro-life movement. Groups and individuals who had been fighting for the life of unborn children felt elation at the news and a sense of justice for the most vulnerable in our society. But they knew that the fight was far from over.

The Current Environment

Despite the outcry by pro-abortion advocates, the Dobbs decision does not outlaw abortion in America but simply ends the federal “right” to abortion outlined by Roe in 1973. Now, the legal battle is moving to individual states. This is a grassroots opportunity for local pro-life groups—ranging from state right-to-life organizations to neighborhood “40 Days for Life” chapters—to have direct impact on the legislative protection of life in the womb. A handful of states are voting on abortion-related constitutional amendments this year, with many more doing so in 2023.

Through calm reasoning, this booklet strikes the right tone that will help to shift minds and hearts to the pro-life movement. Catholic Answers is doing its part to demonstrate that the response to a woman in a crisis pregnancy is not violence, death, and isolation, but support and tender-loving care.
