Empowering life-affirming choices through compassion, support, and protection for mothers, children, and families.
Prenatal Protections
Abortion remains one of the most critical human rights and ethical issues of our time, touching the lives of individuals, families, and communities in profound ways. At First Rights Global, we approach this complex topic with a commitment to compassion, respect for life, and support for those navigating difficult circumstances. We believe that every life holds inherent dignity, and our work focuses on empowering families with life-affirming options, from prenatal care and family support services to educational resources and ethical policies that protect both mother and child. By fostering a culture rooted in empathy, understanding, and comprehensive care, we strive to create solutions that uphold the value of life and offer real, compassionate alternatives to abortion.
Post-Dobbs, each U.S. state now sets unique abortion laws, creating a complex landscape. First Rights Global offers a comprehensive, accessible resource to equip advocates with state-specific information on abortion laws and life-affirming alternatives. Highlighting restrictive laws in states like Alabama and Texas, this guide emphasizes community-driven advocacy and the impact of local initiatives, such as sanctuary cities for the unborn. More than a legal reference, this resource empowers communities to promote life-affirming policies, mobilizing a unified response to protect life across America.
The U.S. abortion landscape has evolved through key rulings, from Roe v. Wade in 1973, which established a right to abortion, to the Dobbs decision in 2022, which returned regulation to the states. These cases reflect shifting legal and societal views, balancing rights and restrictions over decades. First Rights Global provides resources to help advocates understand this history and engage thoughtfully in discussions on abortion and prenatal protections.
The Lincoln Proposal calls on the President to use executive authority to recognize preborn children as “persons” under the Fourteenth Amendment, affirming their right to life, due process, and equal protection. By issuing an Executive Order to this effect, the President would establish a new era of life-affirming constitutional interpretation, advancing a culture of compassion and equal protection.
Chemical abortions, which now make up over 50% of U.S. abortions, carry risks such as hemorrhaging, infection, and incomplete abortion. After the FDA lifted in-person dispensing requirements for mifepristone in 2021, accessibility increased but also raised safety concerns for women undergoing the process alone. First Rights Global advocates for medical supervision and informed consent, drawing on examples like Finland’s restrictions on unsupervised chemical abortions to emphasize the importance of protecting women’s health.
Restorative justice offers healing for post-abortive women, addressing the emotional impact of abortion through counseling, community dialogue, and personal reconciliation. First Rights Global advocates for these programs, which create compassionate, supportive spaces that foster understanding and self-compassion. In states like Tennessee, restorative justice initiatives have shown positive outcomes, helping women find peace and renewed purpose. By embracing restorative justice, we promote a pro-life approach that values each life affected and supports holistic healing.
