There are moments in history when silence becomes complicity, and abortion is one of those moments.
The world that celebrates women rising into leadership yet quietly normalises the destruction of life within the womb, a devastating contradiction stands at the centre of modern feminism. We are applauding empowerment in boardrooms while permitting disposability in the most sacred space on earth: a mother’s body. It must be said, clearly and without apology: every woman - and especially every businesswoman - should stand for life. Before profit, strategy, innovation, and the empire - There is life, and life is the first and most unchangeable enterprise any woman will ever steward.
The Forgotten Truth of Womanhood.
Modern culture has trained women to feel embarrassed by the deepest power they carry: the power to give life. Motherhood has been rebranded as a limitation instead of a calling, and fertility as an inconvenience instead of a miracle. Children as “obstacles” instead of what they truly are - living blessings entrusted to powerful women. Yet nothing about this is natural.
Every woman, regardless of profession, is biologically and spiritually designed to nurture growth. That instinct - to protect, to guide, to build what cannot defend itself - is the same instinct that makes women exceptional leaders. The world wants to separate womanhood from motherhood - as if one must be sacrificed for the other. But the truth is the opposite:
Motherhood does not diminish leadership. It deepens it.
A woman who raises children builds human potential every single day. She masters patience, sharpens wisdom, and leads not through dominance, but through devotion. These are not weaknesses - they are the architecture of greatness.
1- The Lie of “Choice”.
We are told abortion is a matter of freedom. But freedom that demands the death of an innocent life is not empowerment - it is deception. At no point in human civilisation has killing the most vulnerable ever reflected progress. History records a chilling pattern: when societies begin to justify ending the lives of those who cannot speak or defend themselves, moral collapse follows. The unborn child is the last group of human beings whose right to live depends entirely on someone else’s convenience. That’s not justice, that’s not equality. That is violence dressed as liberation. Let us speak plainly: Whatever a baby is inside the womb - 0 weeks, 8 weeks, 2 months - that child is alive.
Heartbeat forms first. Cells organise into organs. DNA distinct from the mother is already written. That growing person has dreams locked within them - potential leaders, artists, inventors, mothers, fathers, yet unseen. To destroy them is to violently interrupt the story of a human life - one that has every natural right to exist. We cannot pretend otherwise without surrendering reason itself.
2- Leadership Begins With Protection.
Real leadership is not the ability to command outcomes - real leadership is the courage to protect those with the least power. A businesswoman who claims strength but refuses to defend life misunderstands the true meaning of leadership. Because leadership is not merely about profit or expansion - it is about ethical stewardship. A CEO oversees profitability. But a mother oversees destiny. When you choose life, you are not stepping backwards in power - you are standing at the very apex of it.
The woman who builds companies and families becomes a dual architect - one crafting global structures, the other shaping eternal souls. Success is not measured only by what we scale - but by what we safeguard.
Motherhood Makes Greater Leaders.
There is a dangerous myth that motherhood and ambition cannot coexist. Corporate culture quietly reinforces it. But reality destroys the narrative. Some of the greatest business leaders, creatives, and social pioneers are mothers who learned the most essential leadership lessons at home:
- Crisis management begins with caring for a sick child at 3 a.m.
- Strategic thinking starts with planning the impossible logistics of daily family life.
- Emotional intelligence matures through nurturing growing hearts.
- Endurance strengthens through endless sacrifice.
Motherhood creates leaders who are emotionally intelligent, resilient, disciplined, and visionary. A woman who gives life and then protects it acquires a leadership gravitas that cannot be taught in any MBA program. You don’t lose ambition when you become a mother. Your ambition becomes sanctified and powerful.
You stop building only for yourself - and begin building for the world your child will inherit.
1- Children Are Not Burdens - They Are Joy.
Every child enters the world carrying something that no currency can buy: Joy. Hope. Wonder. Meaning. It is not poetic sentiment - it is biological truth. Humans are wired to bond, nurture, and protect. The narrative that children “ruin lives” is one of the most destructive cultural lies ever engineered. Children do not steal purpose - they ignite it. Women do not become smaller after birth. They become larger. Expanded in capacity, perspective, love, and strength.
In the arms of a mother lives the most ancient miracle: the continuation of humanity itself. It should inspire awe - not fear.
Abortion Is the Ultimate Betrayal.
Harsh words must sometimes be spoken because euphemisms conceal atrocities. Ending the life of a child is not healthcare. It is not compassion. It is killing. However society chooses to dress it up, abortion is the deliberate termination of an innocent human being - a human who posed no threat and committed no wrong. There is nothing progressive about removing the unborn from the population to make adult life easier.
There is nothing compassionate about destroying one life to “relieve” the difficulty of another. And nothing is empowering about convincing women that they must choose between motherhood and success. That narrative insults women’s capacity for greatness. It tells women they must become assassins of their own offspring to compete in the world. This is the most profound insult feminism has ever handed to its daughters.
1- Faith and Calling: God Entrusted Women With Leadership.
Life is not a mistake. Children are not accidents. They are gifts entrusted to women by God Himself. And He never gives a woman something without also equipping her to steward it. Your business was placed in your hands not merely to fulfil financial ambition but to become a platform for voice.
If you have influence - it was given for responsibility, if you lead teams - it is for moral example, and if you hold visibility, it is for a truth witness. Leadership without moral courage is empty power. And moral courage begins at the womb - where human dignity is most threatened.
Businesswomen, Rise: Become the Army for Life.
This is a call to action: Women who lead businesses must lead cultural resistance against abortion. You are not “just CEOs.” You are commanders in a spiritual and moral war against evil disguised as progress. A CEO isn’t merely a business operator - she is a culture-maker. Your voice shapes employees, your policies shape families, and your branding shapes social conscience. Stand up publicly:
- Support life-affirming policies in your workplaces.
- Provide maternity support and flexibility for working mothers.
- Celebrate women who choose both family and career.
- Use your platforms unapologetically to speak for the unborn.
True empowerment cultures do not erase babies. They make room for them.
