The Pro-Life Generation

My high school daughter, Katie, is active with her Catholic high school's pro-life club.  When the students went to the Minnesota capitol in St. Paul a couple of weeks ago to support the pending "Unborn Child Pain Prevention Act," she and the others from her school ended up spending half an hour debating the merits of the bill with a pro-choice state legislator in his office.  That legislator's mind wasn't changed that day, but he told the small group of high school students how impressed he was with their thoughtful and strong, but always courteous, arguments.  Especially those of us who become discouraged from time to time (and I certainly include myself in that number), we must remember that speaking up for the unborn and never tiring in the struggle for life will yield benefits down the road that we may never see on this side of paradise.  (And, if a proud father may say so, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed and was energized by the extemporaneous debate -- so we may have other budding lawyer in our family!)

Anyway, because one of her fellow students at Benilde-St. Margaret's High School is featured in the video, Katie sent to me a link to the following YouTube video from Students for Life.

 

Seldom have I watched something that has given me such hope for the future and such confidence in the finest of our young people.  It is worth a few minutes of your time.  I promise you'll be uplifted.
