Are you as shocked as I was to hear about the mobile Planned Parenthood clinic offering free vasectomies and abortions outside the Democratic National Convention? According to reports, eight chemical abortions and nine vasectomies were performed during the convent

The Democrat Party claims to champion “choice,” yet the only choice that was celebrated at the DNC from the stage and outside the venue was the abortion of unborn babies. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised—the abortion industry is big money. Planned Parenthood Action has pledged $40 million to help elect Democrats in the 2024 election cycle.

This is a dangerous message for young women. Pro-abortion Democrats are promoting the lie that aborting an unborn baby is their only choice. Got knocked up? A baby will ruin your life! Just get an abortion and it’ll all go away… In fact, it’s empowering to kill the baby growing inside your body!

As a mother of five biological children, who spent part of that time as a single, divorced mom, I understand the economic difficulties of raising a child, especially in the current Biden-Harris economy, where prices have skyrocketed by over 20% since they took office. Due to Biden-Kamalanomics, Americans are struggling to make ends meet on their own, making it even tougher to start a family. But I want you to know that help is available.

What many women don’t realize is that abortion is NOT their only option. Pro-abortion
advocates often fail to disclose the lasting physical, emotional, and psychological trauma that can result from ending the life of your unborn baby. Even pop star Britney Spears, who has wealth and fame, admitted in her memoir that she had an “excruciating” experience using abortion pills to end her pregnancy.

“If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,” Britney wrote. “Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father. To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.” Sadly, Britney’s story is not uncommon. Studies show that 64% of post-abortive women felt pressured from boyfriends, family members, or friends to have an abortion, often against their will. So whose choice is it really?

Women can receive the support they need to carry their pregnancies to term. Did you know there are over 13,000 Federally Qualified Health Centers that provide comprehensive healthcare to underserved women and their families? Services include primary care, preventive care, health, oral, and substance abuse programs, all provided regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.

Additionally, approximately 3,000 not-for-profit pregnancy resource centers nationwide provide services to women and their babies. While Democrats claim to be the “Party of Choice,” they are threatening to shut them all down. These centers, often staffed by volunteers, have also been targeted by pro-abortion arsonists and vandals. Yet, it’s the pro-lifers who are on the ground,
helping thousands of women facing unplanned pregnancies by providing healthcare, and
physical and spiritual support—offering options that don’t require shedding innocent blood. Alongside healthcare, numerous ministries support women through unplanned pregnancies. Embrace Grace, founded in 2012, helps single pregnant women by addressing their spiritual, emotional, and physical needs so they can choose life. “We envision a world where every woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy receives the love, support, and empowerment to choose life for her unborn baby,” said Founder and President Amy Ford. With groups in all 50 states, Embrace Grace partners with churches to offer support groups, diapers, supplies, and baby showers for expectant mothers. Having experienced an unplanned pregnancy herself, Ford’s message is one of hope: “We want her to know and feel empowered that she can have her baby and her dreams too.”

Lifeline Children’s Services also offers essential support, guided by the biblical mandate to care for orphans and widows. Lifeline provides child and family support, adoption, foster care, global orphan care, and counseling to high-risk families. This organization has helped over 10,000 families, placing more than 4,000 children into loving homes, while also providing counseling and educational resources aimed at healing and restoring biological families.

At Latinos United for Conservative Action (LUCA), the fastest-growing conservative Latino group in America, we believe every life has value, created in the image of God. No life is a mistake, no matter the circumstances of a person’s conception. The Democrat Party is out of step with millions of pro-family voters, and the recent DNC display of abortion glorification will only drive even more minority voters away.
