“Young Americans are Taking an Active Pro-Life Stance Against Abortion
by Shawn Carney | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 11/1/13

‘They’re so young!’ That was the reaction of abortion advocate and former NARAL president Nancy Keenan when she walked out of Union Station in Washington, DC and saw the massive crowd at the March for Life.

She’s right—the pro-life movement is young and that is encouraging news (Indeed it is!— my addition). It’s not hard to find the next generation of pro-lifers—at 40 Days for Life vigils (Amen! This is something that every young pro-life person can do, along with talking straight with their peers about being pro-life, having a great impact on society for the better! What is better, other than helping to convert someone to Christ, than saving another persons lifeparticularly an unborn babys life?—my addition)!

Enjoy this inspiring video (No video or link given! Sorry!—my addition) from a 40 Days for Life event in Virginia attended by an entire school … as well as quick looks at other locations where youth are courageously stepping up to change the culture.

40 Days for Life national director David Bereit went with the entire student body of St. Michael the Archangel High School in Fredericksburg to go pray at the 40 Days for Life vigil in Manassas.

Watch this hope-filled short video (No video or link given! Sorry!—my addition) that captures the excitement—and includes numerous students’ own words about the vital importance of youth involvement:

Share this video (No video or link given! Sorry!—my addition) with any young people you know … and watch closely for a few national leaders who came out, and stay tuned to the end to see surprise appearances by second- and third-generation pro-life family members.

‘We were very proud to be represented by the youth of three of our local schools on an abortion day when they marched and stood in the rain at the vigil site,’ said Evelyn in Fort Wayne.

There was also an abortion center client who had an appointment for her abortion—but walked out soon after she arrived. ‘The abortionist had actually come out to the parking lot looking for her, but she took off right before that,’ Evelyn said ‘She had not returned at all that day, so we are very hopeful that she will not be back!’

‘We had members of the Confirmation class and youth group at St. Stephen Parish in Framingham pray outside a Planned Parenthood facility in Boston on Sunday afternoon,’ said Rita in Boston.

‘There were prayers in English and Spanish and some had made their own signs. It was wonderful to have the younger generation with us giving witness to life (Amen! May they continue until this barbaric practice of MURDERING our own children is ended!—my addition)!’

‘We had two local church youth groups join us on the streets,’ said David in Marysville. ‘They were really moved by the experience and are both coming back out (Fantastic!—my addition).’

He also spoke with the music director at his church, who wants to have their girls’ choir sing at the vigil site. ‘There have been so many amazing things that have happened that I can hardly remember them all,’ he said.

Prayerfully, the need for this will soon end! Prayerfully, we will stop MURDERING our own unborn children and return to sanity! Until then, may our youth STAY involved!
