New Pro-Life Club

Homeschooled Teen Pro-Life Club
by Kathryn Turner

We home schooled teenagers have decided that enough is enough: the world needs to know about what’s happening under the guise of a “Woman’s Choice.” Abortion: it’s one of those things that people hear about, but do they truly know all the facts? After the March for Life, we decided that it was time for us to reach out and show the world the true, horrifying facts about abortion.

We decided to form a Pro-Life group.

Not only were we able to get a few of the March for Lifers, but we also got a few people who hadn’t gone with us.

March 2nd was the first official meeting for the H4L (Homeschoolers 4 Life) Pro-Life group. Held near the capitol, a total of nine teens gathered to get it started: Joy F., Charles F., Jacob S., Laura W., Paul F., Christian O., Catherine B., Rebekah S., and Mary O.

Other members weren’t able to show, due to sickness.

During the meeting, we discussed the vision for our teen pro-life club, and what we’d like to do to benefit the pro-life cause. In daily prayer, each group member was asked to pray for a spiritually adopted unborn child, and for this month, to also pray everyday for Michigan’s Governor, Jennifer Granholm.

For our plans in the future, we want to raise money for Pro-Life organizations, for attending the March for Life, and other such pro-life activities.

We’re also looking into Legislative Day, and praying in front of clinics that perform abortions.

It is a work in progress, but all good things have to start small: just like all humans start out in their mother’s womb. Hopefully, the word will spread, and more people will join our group. These babies need all the help they can get, and we’re going to try to give them just that.
