The Real Solution to Saving the Unborn: ‘Hearts and Minds’
A pro-life activist working to help women realize abortion isn’t their only option is on a mission to bring people a “system of care” and “true choices.” Jeff Bradford, president of Human Coalition, recently told CBN News that his organization works on both the service and legislative sides. “Human Coalition is one of the largest pro-life, pro-woman organizations in the country,” Bradford said. “We work with directly with women who believe that abortion is their only option.”
He continued, “We also work on the legislative [side] … where we’re helping shape and protect good laws that also reduce the supply of abortion across the country.” In the end, though, Bradford said there’s only one tactic that will truly heal the abortion divide. “Ultimately, we have to change hearts and minds,” he said. With the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that had legalized abortion across America, Bradford stressed recognizing that the issue is anything but settled.
With abortion rights being turned back to the states, some locations are restricting abortion while others seek to solidify access to the procedure. And while those legislative battles are essential to engage, Bradford said it’s the changing of hearts that is most important. “These women that come in want to be seen, they want to be loved, they want to be cared for, and they want somebody to stand in the gap for them,” he said. “Seventy-six percent of the women who think abortion is their only option initially, will tell us that they prefer to parent if their circumstances were different.” Bradford continued, “Doesn’t that just break your heart … these women have been told that abortion is their only option and yet they want to parent if they could have somebody just standing in the gap.”
The pro-life activist said he understands where many of these women are coming from and the intense struggles some face. “They’re in a very difficult position,” Bradford said. “They feel and believe that abortion is their only option. Many times, the father of the baby, or friends, or parents abandon the woman at her greatest time of need.” He went on to share his own circumstances when he and his now wife, engaged to be married, didn’t know where to turn when they faced an unexpected pregnancy.
