Pro-woman/pro-life prayer intentions
Below is a list of prayer intentions that individuals, prayer groups,
churches and other ministries and organizations may use throughout the year
or during sensitive times, such as Mother’s Day, holidays, etc., which can
be especially difficult for those at risk of unwanted, coerced for forced
abortion or already hurt by abortion.
In some cases, families are also coping with the loss of a beloved
daughter, sister or friend who died due to pregnancy- or abortion-related
violence.
for an
end to abortion, for unborn children lost to abortion, and for babies and
mothers still at risk of abortion
for increased awareness
among people of all faiths that most abortions are unwanted or coerced, and
that many—even in free nations—are forced, sometimes violently
for unborn babies and
mothers who have died from pregnancy-related violence and for those injured,
hurting or killed in abortion’s aftermath.
that mothers still at risk
or being coerced or forced into unwanted abortions will find the help they
need in time*
for mothers, fathers and
families suffering from the loss of a child due to abortion, for those
struggling with the pain and trauma that often surround this experience, and
for those who experienced coercion, abuse, deception, violence and other
injustices related to abortion
that families, friends and
society will better understand unwanted, coerced or forced abortions, and
that all of us will respond with genuine and practical compassion and
support for those who are struggling with an unplanned or difficult
pregnancy

and families facing an unplanned or difficult pregnancy, especially those
who are facing abortion and those who are being pushed, pressured, coerced
or forced into abortion

families who were involved in an unwanted or coerced abortion

or traumatized by abortion, especially those struggling with depression,

pro-family culture and offer practical and compassionate support for

lost children to abortion or pregnancy loss, and for those struggling with
infertility
for mothers who were
emotionally and spiritually wounded, or physically injured, by abortion, and

coerced abortion and those who were denied the opportunity to support their
partners and unborn children
for fathers grieving the

with infertility

unity among those working to end abortion and offer support to unborn
children, mothers, fathers and families, especially those at risk of
unwanted or coerced abortions

respond to the needs of mothers, fathers and families around us and rise to
the challenge of creating a more authentically pro-woman, pro-life and
pro-family culture where that legitimate rights of unborn children and their
mothers, fathers and families are defended
that leaders will become
better educated about pregnancy- and abortion-related injustices, and be
willing to defend the authentic rights of the unborn and their mothers and
fathers
for leaders who will
challenge all of us, especially counselors and others in positions of
authority, to give fair and honest information about abortion and provide
meaningful alternatives and support to those facing abortion
for all those directly or
indirectly involved in providing or promoting abortions, that God will open
their eyes and hearts to abortion's harm and heartbreak to everyone involved
and redirect their paths toward authentic pro-woman/pro-life advocacy for
the fundamental, God-given rights of women, babies and families
for all women who have
died from abortion or post-abortion problems, and for the families who
grieve the loss of a daughter, sister, mother or friend after abortion, as
well as the loss of an the unborn child
for healing and
restoration for women, men, families, authorities, professionals, and others
who were involved in abortion directly or indirectly, and for those who
struggle with pain and trauma due to abortion, including unwanted and
coerced abortions
for all those for whom the
holiday season is difficult due to grief over the loss of a loved one,
especially for all those who have lost loved ones to abortion
Please share these intentions
with friends, family, prayer groups, youth groups, church leaders and
others.
