Adoption, Abortion & Choosing Life: Roland C. Warren on the Pro Abundant Life Movement

What does it really mean to support women facing an unplanned pregnancy—not only before a decision is made, but afterward as they build a future for themselves and their children?

In this episode of the A Act of Love Adoptions Podcast, we sit down with Roland C. Warren, President and CEO of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro Abundant Life, for an important conversation about abortion alternatives, adoption, pregnancy support, fatherhood, strong families, faith, and choosing life.

Roland shares the personal experience that shaped his perspective. While attending Princeton University, he and his then-girlfriend—now his wife of more than four decades—faced an unexpected pregnancy and the decision between abortion and choosing life. That experience became part of a journey that would ultimately influence his work in the pro-life movement.

Roland explains why he believes being pro-life must mean more than preventing abortion. His “pro abundant life” approach calls Christians and communities to surround women, children, fathers, and families with meaningful, long-term support.

We also explore the role adoption can play as one option for women facing an unplanned pregnancy, while recognizing that every woman deserves compassionate support, accurate information, and the opportunity to make an informed decision about her pregnancy.

* Adoption and alternatives to abortion
