What can an individual like me do something to persuade pregnant women to not have an abortion? What can I do to fight abortion? I'm asking because I recently heard a sermon about abortion and I've been reading about the subject. Is it a worthwhile endeavor to try to fight abortion?

Find a local pro-life group and get involved. Ask your Pastor if he knows of one you could talk to. And FIGHT.That's what

There are a lot of aspects to the pro-life equation.
If we're going to convince a woman not to have an abortion, we need to help her care for the baby.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Depends. It would not be appropriate for there to only be male counselors."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

You really don't want to put yourself in that position.
Our pregnancy center (don't know about others) actually has counseling services for the men involved in these decisions - the birth father of the child being considered for abortion. That would be an excellent opportunity for a guy to counsel those men. (The counseling involves whether the man stays involved in the life of the non-aborted child, how to be supportive, legal options, etc)The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

From my experience archives. The best way is on an individual field level one at a time. A friend of mine approached me who did not know what to do. I encouraged her to find out how far along she was so I sent her to a Catholic crisis pregnancy center which charged nothing and I knew had all forms and services she would need. Medicaid Tang snap housing adoption if she chose it and fully donated items if she kept the baby. I also informed her of the risks of having a free standing clinic abortion a and suggested that if she made this decision she went to a hospital clinic where she would have full care. Then my mother me and some friends prayed for God to guide her decision process. She went to the Catholic social service clinic and chose to proceed with the pregnancy after feeling empowered from their support that she could do this. The story has a sad ending. She bled out and miscarried two or three weeks later. Requiring a d and c. She went to the hospital women's clinic and they did give full follow up care.
The real work is not with those who provide abortion but those who feel they need one.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
