WITH CHILD CAMPAIGN

Reclaiming Life-affirming Language

A woman is

WITH CHILD

Influence Culture with Words

Words have power.   

The architects of the abortion movement understood this.  Language shapes thought and emotions, forms policy, eventually formulates laws. 

NARAL's social experiment of abortion-on-demand would fail if people continued identifying a woman as 'with child'.  So, language had to change. "CHILD" became "CHOICE" and "With Child" was replaced by "PREGNANT".

Reclaim Life-Affirming Language!

Restore the dignity of Maternity

Medical terms like "pregnant" and "pregnancy" were emphasized in the late 1960's, subtly reducing maternity to a biological condition and under-valuing the elevated role of motherhood.

By saying a woman is “with child” or "expecting a baby," we acknowledge the presence of a new human life and give dignity to the unique relationship between mother and her unborn infant.

Motherhood is a blessing from the Lord, not a curse.

Let our language reflect that. 

Say a woman is 'WITH CHILD'!

“I Love Lucy” Controversy

In the 1950s, the I Love Lucy producers faced a cultural dilemma.

 

When Lucille Ball was expecting Desi, Jr., could they use the word "pregnant" on air. 

The word "pregnant" was banned by the network, so the show opted for traditional language of "expecting" and "having a baby", integrating Lucy's maternity into the script.

This shows that in the 1950s "pregnant" was still considered less respectful, even crude, language in a time when maternity was still honored.

Use With Child Cards

With Child cards are a tool designed to influence culture and restore dignity to maternity.

Here's a few ways to use them:

  • Personal Connections: Share them with friends, family, or expectant mothers to celebrate the life-affirming joy of being With Child.

  • Community Engagement: Distribute at church events, pregnancy resource centers, or community gatherings to spark uplifting conversations about the beauty of life.

  • Cultural Influence: Tuck into fundraiser baskets, Christmas cards, or baby shower gifts to enhance positive, life-affirming language.

  • Educational Outreach: Share with schools or youth groups as discussions starters about the importance of life-affirming terminology.
