sidewalk counselors

Sidewalk counselors are individuals who engage with people outside of abortion clinics, offering support and information to those considering abortions. Their goal is to encourage women to choose alternatives, such as parenting or adoption, by providing resources and assistance. These counselors typically aim to communicate in a compassionate manner, advocating for what they believe to be the value of choosing life. Their presence can be controversial, as it often intersects with the broader debate over reproductive rights and access to healthcare. While some see them as offering genuine support, others view their actions as intrusive or confrontational.
