“Are you pro-life?” is often a question you hear. However, it usually inquires as to what one thinks, not does. I recently read a pamphlet, though, that is asking its readers to turn their beliefs into to action. “52 Simple Things You can Do to Be Pro-Life,” by Anne Pierson, is well worth the time.
It lists simple actions we can take, such as:
[ ] wearing the “feet pin,” the universal symbol for life
[ ] marching in a parade for life
[ ] babysitting for a single mother
[ ] writing a letter to the editor
[ ] giving financially to crisis pregnancy centers
[ ] volunteering your time for a crisis pregnancy center
[ ] holding a baby shower for a crisis pregnancy center
[ ] and most importantly prayer.
Many of the 52 action items listed I had already done, yet a majority I have yet to do. Some actions were in between. For instance, I have prayed for the pro-life cause, but have I truly prayed with enough fervor? Finally, the document listed a handful of not-so-easy pro-life actions, such as adoption, running for office or embarking on a new career within the pro-life movement.
At any rate, this publication provides a good opportunity to pause and take note of whether we simply believe pro-life, or are actually doing something about it.
