Pro-life means

Pro-Life means so much more than stopping abortion at least to me. I mean it is extremely easy to say well, "I don't support abortion. I am pro-life." But what does it look like to actually live it out. Is it as simple as going on a pro-life march or what? God calls us  to  "6 not rejoice about injustice but rejoice whenever the truth wins out. " (1 Corinthians 13:6) Abortion is a great injustice, but that is not all being pro-life means. Pro means to be in support of and Life means to exist. So when you say you are pro-life you support human existence. That is a tall order. I mean I see a lot of people with a bumper sticker of Facebook post or something else insignificant. What does pro-life mean? What does a person actively seeking out to be in support of human existence look like?

To me Pro-life is so much more than protecting unborn lives. 
Pro-Life is:
Serving at a food pantry
Donating Money 
Adopting a child
Working to pass laws in support of social programs
Standing alongside of single mothers

Being Pro-life is more than just not believing abortion is morally right. It is living a life that is in support of others. God calls us to live this life to love. To love others more than ourselves. That is not something to be taken lightly. There is so much more to pro-life than what meets the eye. Women need to know they are supported so they can be courageous and do what isn't easy; save a life. Pro-life is not simply making abortion illegal. It is being in support of human existence in all of its stages. So next time you say I am pro-life think about what it truly means.
