Mother's Day
Mother’s day is a beautiful opportunity to remind women seeking abortions that they are already mothers. Joyful gatherings of families and children can reach the hearts of women who might ignore a lone sidewalk counselor.
Organize your own pro-life Mother’s Day event!
-
Choose the abortion facility and location for your event. Is there room for a group, including children?
-
Choose a time for your event. When is the facility doing abortions? (Look online for a schedule or call and ask.) When can you reasonably expect other pro-lifers to join you, especially families?
-
Invite others to the event via email, phone, and Facebook. Can you put an announcement in your church bulletin?
-
Make brightly colored signs: “Happy Mother’s day!” “If you are pregnant, you are already a mother” “Choose life, Mommy!” etc. Balloons are also good for bringing color and cheer to the sidewalk.
-
Buy sidewalk chalk for any children who attend. They can write and draw mother’s day messages on the sidewalk.
-
Buy flowers and attach sidewalk counseling brochures or information for your local pregnancy help center to the bouquets.
-
During your event, offer the bouquets and information to the mothers entering the abortion clinic. Smile, wish them a happy Mother’s Day, and ask them to protect the lives of their children.
