Says Matthew Brower, exec. dir. of the Montana Catholic Conference:  "...regardless of whether or not legislation restricting abortion passes and becomes law, there is absolutely nothing that prevents every one of us from taking concrete steps to reduce abortion by offering assistance to mothers and fathers in need."

Well, yes, there is something that prevents taking concrete steps to reduce the number of abortions:    blocking access to effective birth control so that an unwanted pregnancy doesn't occur in the first place.  You know, like insurance coverage provided to employees of Catholic hospitals, universities, charities, and from Little Sisters.  Or, defunding Planned Parenthood which will remove access to not only affordable and effective birth control, but will also limit access to other forms of health care for women.  

Got that said.  

And, yes, offering assistance to already pregnant women may also allow a woman to choose to carry through with the pregnancy.  Good idea.
