Why don’t you help people who are already here, like the homeless?

First, unborn children are already here.  If that were not the case, there would be nothing to kill.   Second, there are about 3,000 crisis pregnancy centers in America, each funded and staffed by the pro-life movement and each providing its services free of charge.  Third, when pro-life groups solicit money to finance these centers, our biggest problem is that almost every pro-lifer we approach is also contributing to other organizations whose sole purpose is to help people.

This claim that pro-lifers only care about abortion is an outright lie.  However, let’s assume that no pro-lifer anywhere in the world is involved in even one effort to help other people.  What does that have to do with our efforts to keep the pro-choice mob from killing every baby they can get their hands on?  Where is it written that when someone tries to prevent innocent human beings from being butchered, they are responsible for solving all the world’s social problems?  If a man tries to stop a poor child from being murdered in a drive-by shooting, do we say it’s none of his business unless he has a plan to end poverty?  

There is a legal group called the Innocence Project which represents prisoners who claim they were falsely convicted.  They have been successful in numerous instances where they were able to prove that a man was on death row for a murder he didn’t commit. 

When they are trying to save the life of a condemned prisoner who may be innocent, should they be told to butt out unless they are doing something about homelessness, child abuse, hunger, and all of the world’s other social problems?  As ridiculous as that sounds, that is precisely what the pro-choice crowd says about abortion.  They say that unless the pro-life movement can solve all the problems an unborn girl might face in her life, then we have no right to keep them from killing her. 
 
The reality is, when the choice is between helping people who have no place to live or helping people who are being butchered by the millions, we have to choose the latter. 

However, if the pro-choice crowd is so concerned about homelessness, they have the power to end it anytime they want to.  All they have to do is pick out one homeless person and take him home.  Since there are more abortion advocates than homeless people, this would end the problem instantly, without controversy and without tax money.  In fact, they could use this “adult adoption” plan to eliminate hunger, poverty, unemployment or any other social problem.

Of course, the pro-choice crowd is never going to go for this.  Their only interest in the homeless, or the poor, or the unemployed, or the hungry, or any other disadvantaged group is to use them as a skirt to hide behind so they don’t have to defend abortion.
