The inconvenience part stuck out to me. So many in my generation (currently our 30s) don't want kids. I'll admit it myself. I'm in this sweet spot of being a newly wed. Life is awesome. While I'm open to life, I'm certainly not going out of my way (tracking ovulation times prior to intimacy) to make it happen. I'm currently seeing it all over socials too. People who haven't said no to kids... but just not yet.

It is so easy to say we need more pro life health care providers. But to be honest, I feel like doing an OB residency or maybe even a family med / peds residency would be incredibly difficult if you intend to not perform abortion or birth control. I’m a current medical school and was advised by a Catholic pediatrician not to go into OB, even though I’m incredibly interested in issues like menstrual pain and blood loss and maternal mortality.

Oh, SO difficult. I know someone studying to be an OBGYN right now and it’s wild. Basically being shamed out of the field.

You might find community with Dr. Monique Ruberu who is a pro-life OB/GYN practicing in the Philadelphia suburbs. If you haven't already been in touch or don't know of her, here's her website: https://www.naturalwomenshealth.com/

So many good points about 'keeping the poor poor' - there are so many issues behind (and outside) the pro-life movement that need to be addressed. These points bleed into my request for you to cover 'the culture of death' that our society currently supports.

Also - "the cure for loneliness is a greater awareness of the presence of Jesus" ... this is everything. Thanks for the reminder!
