Chilean women find a powerful way to give preborn children a voice

Chilean women find a powerful way to give preborn children a voice

One of the biggest hurdles the pro-life movement has to clear is convincing pro-abortion activists that preborn children are independent, living human beings. We must show these children are not just a clump of cells that the mother can remove at will.

Ultrasounds have been powerful tools to dispel this myth, and as science and medicine advance, it has become increasingly difficult to deny the humanity of preborn children. Still, how do we give these children a voice?

A pro-life feminist group in Chile found a genius way to do just that.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

Reivindica Feminist Movement confronted the abortion culture in Chile with an amazing demonstration in October. The women met at Plaza de la Constitution, and then they marched together to the government buildings. But they didn’t chant or carry signs; instead, they let their preborn babies do all the talking. The women strapped fetal monitors to their stomachs, amplifying the sound of their babies’ heartbeats with megaphones.

Preborn babies have no say in the basic choice of whether they live or die. That choice is solely up to their mothers, who can decide to snuff out their lives — for any reason whatsoever — throughout the U.S. and in many countries of the world. But the powerful protest by the women of Chile is a stark reminder that these babies are human beings from the very beginning. These are living people with beating hearts. (A new scientific study recently discovered that babies’ hearts begin to beat as early as 16 days after conception.)

Reivindica Feminist Movement also wanted to combat the abortion industry’s mantra that ‘reproductive rights’ (translation, abortion) is synonymous with womanhood. RFM showed the world that being pro-abortion does not equal being ‘pro-woman.’ They reminded their society — and all of us — that it’s actually life and motherhood that is empowering and fulfilling, not abortion.
