Fear and Coercion Will Not Control This Decision
Full Text
We declare that shame, panic, secrecy, and coercion will be brought into the light. We will honor both mother and child with truth, compassion, and tangible support. We will seek wise counsel and refuse simplistic judgment. We believe that God can create a faithful path where none seems visible, and we will help carry the practical burdens that make choosing life feel impossible.
