Pro-Life Organizations

Pro-Life Organizations are not as well publicized as Pro-"choice" organizations like Planned Parenthood. This does not in any way mean that they do not exist. In general, there seem to be three categories of them. The first is aid organizations, which offer advice, encouragement, and equipment to mothers. The second is political—these work through the political system to reduce abortion and save babies. Lastly, there are outreach and education organizations. These work by persuasion and education to encourage mothers to keep their children.
