Steven Ertelt, editor of LifeNews.com, suggests starting with making sure people in your community know there are thousands of pregnancy centers across America that are helping moms, saving babies, bringing people to God, and building relationships with women.
"I know there's tons of volunteer opportunities; there's tons of needs for staff and support," he notes. "So, look to your local pregnancy center. Get involved. It's a great way that you can actually help people right there in your neighborhood."
National Right to Life President Carol Tobias says those resources help women understand that "abortion is not the solution. There are options, and there's a lot of support available."
Tobias also encourages pro-life individuals to "just keep talking about how dangerous abortion is," especially with the increase in life-ending procedures.
"The abortion pill is a topic of concern in the country because so many women are using it," Tobias says. "So many women are damaged because of it."
During a recent press conference urging the Trump administration to do away with Biden-era policies that expanded access to abortion drugs, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) said that there are more abortions committed today in the United States than when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land.
He relayed that before the overturn of Roe, the abortion industry reported performing 930,000 abortions. The most comprehensive numbers from 2024 went up to 1.1 million abortions, and the numbers of 2025 so far show a further increase.
Meanwhile, the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) published a study in 2025 warning that a "shocking number" of patients experience a "serious adverse event" after taking the abortion pill. Nearly 11% of women experience side effects like hemorrhaging, infection, and sepsis within 45 days of taking mifepristone.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to be conducting a safety study on the abortion drug mifepristone, but Hawley has been unable to find evidence that the study has begun or if the FDA even plans to go through with it.
"Just keep educating and make sure that people in your community know what resources are available for women who want and need help," Tobias reiterates.
