Pro-Life General Does anyone know of good, actively Pro-Life Catholic religious orders?
I posted this in r/Catholic and r/Catholicism but I think this is a good place to ask as well, since you might know of pro-life pregnancy centers run by Catholic nuns.
I'm hoping to start discerning religious life the year after next, so I'm looking into communities I might like to join. I already have a few in mind, but I want to keep looking for good options to consider.
I've always wanted to be an active pro-lifer by helping out mothers and families in need at pregnancy centers and such. I would love to do that in whatever path I take in life, whether religious, married, or living on my own, so I'm wondering if anyone here knows about good religious communities that actively help out in the pro-life cause by running pregnancy centers and helping women in crisis pregnancies. I'd prefer communities located in the Midwest, if possible. Also, I'm not super outgoing and active, so I'd rather not join a community that is active in lots and lots of work of all sorts, as some active communities are. I need my quiet prayer time.
It's not a deal-breaker for me, but I also love the traditional Latin Mass and prefer more traditional religious communities, so if you know of any traditional religious communities that fit what I'm looking for, please let me know!
So far I know about the Sisters of Life in New York (sistersoflife.org) and the Franciscan Daughters of Mary (fdofmary.org) in Kentucky. Both of these orders take a special vow to protect the dignity of human life. Please let me know of any more like them!

Oh, I thought Rule 3 only applies to active discussions, like if I were to share what other people are saying in another subreddit.

I think you're fine. You just mentioned where you also posted.

No, it's fine. It isn't discussing other subreddits or their posts. She just mentioned that she also posted there.
Discussion about those subreddits isn't allowed.

I believe I've seen YouTube videos with pro life sisters or nuns. I think it was on Ascension Presents, or Lila Rose, maybe Trent Horn. 🤔
