This past Sunday, we gathered with approximately forty people to walk around town to advertise our support for life. We carried signs saying such things as “Choose Life”, “Defend Life”, etc. Once the walk was over, we gathered at the hall for refreshments and a short meeting. After all the pledges were tallied, we raised a total of about $1300.
The funds raised by the Walk for Life support many different causes including the Teen Aid School Program, radio advertisements supporting respect for life from conception to natural death, pregnancy counselling and support for new mothers, and post-abortion counselling for people who have previously had abortions and now regret their decision.
This cause means a lot to me because I believe abortion is murder, and I do not think the baby should suffer because his or her mother is too selfish to bring them into the world. Pope John Paul II once said, "A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope."
