"Choose Life, So That You and Your Children May Live:" A Study of the "Alternatives to Abortion" Movement

Abstract

During my SIP quarter I worked with Intercessors for America Research and Education, as they carried out a survey of alternative to abortion centers. I believe the alternatives movement offers the best immediate pro-life solution to the failed policy of abortion-on-demand. After a summation of pro-life philosophy, I show why political victory has been so elusive. I then discuss the failure of abortion-on-demand. It is destructive, but it is so deceptive. A discussion of the alternatives movement follows, with some indication that it is a powerful pro-life tool. Finally, I close with some implications of pro-life counseling, for they are diverse and astounding.
