About - What are Life Bearing Principles of Life Doulas?
1. We will not take/drive a woman to get an abortion (via a clinic) or help her get a surgical abortion (possibly some hospitals).
2. We will not help a woman achieve a chemical abortion (the pills - as they are becoming more available via Pharmacy).
3. We CAN offer post-abortive counseling support (if we have any kind of certificate in that or knowledge or REFER her to a counselor).
4. We CAN offer the mother resources to know what abortion is like vs. possibly adoption, etc.
5. We CAN refer the mother to a crisis pregnancy center that is pro-life based if we feel that this will help her better.
6. We CAN refer a mother to places like Rachel's Vineyard if she's had a previous abortion and wants to go on a fuller retreat experience.
7. We CAN help these women with any clothing for their babies, diapers, information for jobs, etc. as well. You may want to find out if there is a Gabriel's Project in your area that you can coordinate with for instance. Also, be willing to contact churches, or other organizations that help with things like above.
We are currently forming more of a formal board for the Life Doulas - if you would like to be part of this -please contact us. Thank you.
