What Can I Do?
You may be sitting there saying to yourself, "I'm Pro-Life, but what can I do to make a difference?" Well the first thing to do is to become a member of your local Right to Life group! If you are in the Columbus area, give us a call and find out what you need to do to become a member and get involved. We are constantly looking for people willing to give of their three T's--that is their Time, Talents, and Treasure. If you are not in the Columbus area, you can find out if their is a local Right to Life group in your area by calling your state Right to Life office. The following is a list of other things that you can do to support the Pro-Life movement:
 Volunteer at a local Crisis Pregnancy Center, Right to Life office, Birthright, Concerned Women for America, or other Pro-Life organization. These organizations greatly depend on volunteers.
- Write letters to your congressmen, both state and federal, on legislation concerning life issues.
- Write letters to the editor about life issues.
- Financially support one of the many worthy Pro-Life groups and centers.
- Give peaceful witness at an abortion clinic. Many groups do this on a regular basis. Check with your local Right to Life group.
- Educate yourself. Subscribe to Pro-Life newsletters and read Pro-Life books.
- Arrange for a Pro-Life speaker to do a presentation at your church or civic group.
- Join in the March for Life or stand in a Life Chain. Your local Right to Life group will have the information about these events.
- Spread the Pro-Life message to others through literature. Leave it in waiting rooms, restrooms, lobbies, airports, laundromats, etc.
- Wear a Precious Feet or Precious Hands pin every day. People will see the pin and ask you about it and this will give you the perfect opportunity for you to speak up for the humanity of the unborn.
- Find out the name of an abortionist in your town and pray daily for his/her change of heart.
- Put Pro-Life stickers on ALL outgoing mail.
- Include a piece of literature in ALL bills you pay and letters you send.
- Put a Pro-Life bumper sticker or cling on your car(s).
- Purchase a video and literature on abortion and offer to show it at church youth groups and other gatherings. Pass out literature on how to get involved afterwards.
- If you know any Pro-Life teenagers, provide them with literature to share at school.
- Investigate your school district's sex education programs. If it is pro-abortion or pro-sex request permission to show the other side.
- Use Pro-Life checks.
- Go to yard sales and buy baby clothes and maternity clothes and donate them to your local Pregnancy Resource Center.
- Plan a Pro-Life Sunday at your church. Have literature and precious feet available.
- Surround yourself with like minded friends and start a phone chain for acting on upcoming legislation.
- If you have a service that a Pro-Life group could use, donate your service to them. For example, if you run a printing company, offer to print Pro-Life literature for free or cost only.
- Check with your local Right to Life group and see if they have any office needs you could supply. Maybe you have the ability to donate a computer or a printer, or maybe just a chair.
- Vote for Pro-Life politicians only.
- Talk to friends and fellow students who are considering abortions and let them know of all the free confidential alternatives. Also encourage them to get an ultrasound or listen to their child's heart on a fetal heart monitor before making their decision.
- Offer to baby-sit for a single parent or parents of a handicapped child.
- Talk with friends. You can educate your friends who are confused or undecided about the abortion issue. Most people are unaware of the facts.
- Encourage your priest or pastor to preach about abortion.
Do something, don't do nothing: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
