How can abortions be performed if all facility employees quit? That’s the idea of the abortion worker outreach! We can share knowledge, love, and a supporting hand to abortion workers who need it to finally quit. You can do this through mailings and sidewalk counseling!
SFLA Resources to Request from your Regional Coordinator:
- “Planned Parenthood” topic cards
- “Fetal Development” topic cards
- “Sidewalk Counseling” training
Steps:
- Gather supplies.
- Letters, envelopes, markers, pens, and stationary or paper.
- You can also print cards and messages from abortionworker.com/loveletters.
- Meet as a group to put everything together.
- Speak to your group about the importance of reaching out to abortion workers. Again, use the site abortionworker.com for stories and resources.
- Write cards and address them to abortion doctors and local abortion facilities. Find their names and abortion facilities here: http://abortiondocs.org/.
- Put them in the mail! Done!
Sidewalk Counseling Steps:
- Request a SFLA Sidewalk Counseling training to equip you to speak with patients and workers of that facility.
- Get out there and try it! Let them know it’s not too late for a career change.
- Bonus: Use chalk!
- Put chalked messages around the abortion facility, especially where workers park (if you can legally access that area). “We can help you find another job” “abortionworker.com” etc. Stick to kind messages. They will be more likely to reach out for help if you can build a relationship.
