Why Men Matter in the Pro-Life Movement
Responsibility, Courage, and Compassion in Defending Life
In today’s cultural climate, the pro-life movement is often portrayed as a women’s issue. While it’s true that abortion directly affects women and their bodies, the conversation shouldn’t—and can’t—exclude men. At Men for Life, we believe that men have a vital, irreplaceable role in standing for life, supporting women, and defending the unborn.
The Call to Responsibility
As men, we are called to lead with integrity and take responsibility—not just for our own actions, but for the vulnerable around us. This includes the unborn.
Over 63 million abortions have occurred in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade in 1973.
64% of post-abortive women said they felt pressured by others to choose abortion.
Too many women feel alone. But when men step up with compassion and courage, everything changes. Lives are saved when men show up.
Reclaiming Masculinity
Being pro-life is not about politics—it’s about principles. It’s about reclaiming authentic masculinity: the kind that protects, nurtures, and sacrifices.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, the father is the most influential voice in a woman’s abortion decision.
This isn’t about control—it’s about support. Are we speaking life, or staying silent?
Supporting Women, Supporting Life
Being “Men for Life” means showing up—not just in word, but in action. It means listening, supporting, and standing firm when it matters most.
86% of abortions occur among unmarried women. Many cite lack of support as a major factor.
When men affirm both the mother and the child, women are empowered to choose life.
