May is one of the most beautiful months of the year as flowers begin to bloom, the weather begins to warm up, and most trees have regained their leaves. It’s the perfect time to step outside, go for a walk, and enjoy the incredible beauty of nature.
It is also the month in which we celebrate Mother’s Day (although I’m sure many would agree we need to celebrate mothers every day!) This holiday places a spotlight on the incredible women who helped raise us and teach us the importance of grace, respect, humility, and compassion. I know I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the constant commitment of my mom to provide for me and my siblings and to teach us important life lessons.
From providing us with food, clothing, and shelter to showing us constant love and support, we take this special day to thank our mothers for all that they have done and continue to do for us!
As we honor mothers, we recognize the beautiful miracle of bringing new life to the world. This natural ability is so incredible and is worth celebrating! Unfortunately, organizations like Planned Parenthood push an abortion-only narrative that tells women that true empowerment comes from abortion. This is a sad and manipulative distortion of the truth and downplays the incredible blessings that so many mothers experience from their children. We at Right to Life of Michigan work to combat any abortion-obsessed narrative with the hopeful and courageous message of life, showing women that they have practical support and resources to make that choice for their child.
With our “Life. The Other Choice.” ad campaign, women are presented with a help hotline (1-800-712-HELP) to be connected to their closest Pregnancy Resource Center to receive life-affirming care and resources. These ads show women that they have the means to feel supported in choosing life. We are excited to get our ads back on air in early June, but to do so, we need to raise ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Please consider giving your most generous donation to our Educational Fund at rtl.org/donate TODAY!
This Mother’s Day, I encourage you to take time to recognize all the mothers that you know and celebrate their decision to choose life. One way to do so is by sending them our new Mother’s Day e-cards! You can add a personalized message and even schedule it to be sent on Mother’s Day. Sending a card to her email comes at no cost to you, so make sure to send an e-card today!
We wish you all a very happy Mother’s Day this month and thank you for your continued support!
