Before going to see Where Hope Grows, I knew only two things about it: One of the main characters has Down Syndrome and is played by an actor with Down Syndrome, David DeSanctis. DeSanctis promoted the film at January’s Students for Life of America conference. I didn’t get to hear him, though, because I was […]
Photo of Brigid via SFLA We’ve written previously about Brigid and Katie, students at two high schools in Fargo, ND. Each wanted to start a pro-life student organization.

In this article I want to accomplish three things: first, clarify what I mean by open-mindedness, second, respond to this cliché and third, give an […]

This is a very exciting new division of the organization, which seeks to help continue the work, of what they have coined “The Pro-Life Generation”, beyond the reach of college campuses, and out into the rest of the world.

I came across a question over the internet. I’m not a user on Tumblr, but this came up on Google. Someone had asked this question: What’s the main reason you think abortion is ok? The answer, which is indicated as the best one, is: “Because forcing someone to continue with a pregnancy against their will […]
I don’t know how to feel about stories like this: Fay Murrish was 20 weeks pregnant with her third baby when she and husband, Micheal, were given heartbreaking news.
