We decided early on that if we are going to be pro-life, we need to support women who decide to keep their babies. Simple, right? We have been supporting the Cradle Fund, which supports disadvantaged women who decide to keep their babies instead of opting for abortion. Sometimes they need basic items such as diapers, clothes, formula, car seats, and other basics. Sometimes they struggle with a place to live. The Cradle Fund helps them remove the obstacles to keeping their babies. They really do a great job and we are happy to support them. The women they help are so grateful! To that end, we are having a Pro-Life Baby Shower on Sunday, October 6th (1:00-3:00pm). We do all of the usual baby shower silliness - games, food, chit chat, opening gifts, and lots of oohing and ahing. In short, it's a lot of fun. Everyone brings gifts and we usually have a young teenager open them. You can also donate cash for a car seat. The Cradle Fund has a deal with Walmart to purchase a car seat for $100. Last year's Pro-Life Baby Shower not only netted a huge carload of great baby items, they also went away with enough Walmart gift cards for seven car seats! They were thrilled and so were we. Thanks for supporting Columbiettes and this great cause that we love so much! Here's the scoop on this year's Pro-Life Baby Shower:
