Students at PVMCFL Mother's Day Dinner

It struck me when I read a comment from abortion activist, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL, when she commented about the March for Life in Washington: “I just thought, my gosh, they are so young,” she told Newsweek. “There are so many of them, and they are so young.” The thought of course, is the great strength of young people in the Pro-Life movement. If we ever are going to completely turn this situation around and end abortion in America it has to involve the great strength of youth so that the "Life-Torch" can be carried by the next generation.

For several years I operated a business where we employed several young high school and college age females. They were all very nice and intelligent girls. After I got to know them I would gently ask them in conversation what they felt about abortion. When they were asked the question, and put in a position to answer, they would seem to hesitate, not quite sure...but would mostly say that they were "Pro-Choice". The reason, I believe, is that they had been through the system of indoctrination with all the false propaganda of "it is a woman's right"; a fetus is just a mound a flesh, not a life; women die if they don't have access to an abortion, etc., etc. You know all the false lies. When I explained to them, however, about the actual existence of life according to REAL medical science, and the brutal procedures, especially with partial birth abortion, they were horrified. Unbelievably they had never been informed of the real facts nor understood what abortion actually is...the taking of a life.

I firmly believe that education, truth...and youth are the answers to turning the situation around in favor of Life.

To this end, the following is recommended:

* Each year the Pioneer Valley Massachusetts Citizens for Life (PVMCFL) has a wonderful and very successful Mothers Day Dinner. In this event they have recognized and involved students...young people, and that is good.

* What is recommended, however, is that this be expanded to specifically include MANY tables of high school students that are part of any Pro-Life groups at the high schools. High school students are at an age where they are mature and intelligent enough so that they can understand the issue of "Life". All they need are the facts and truth.

* In order to accomplish this, it is recommended, under faculty guidance, that student to student contact be made in order to encourage many student groups from various high schools in the region to attend the PVMCFL Mother's Day Dinner. It is also recommended that effort be placed in order to grow this student involvement from year to year.

* As part of this proposal we look for ways, through financial contributions, so that we can assist the students to attend the Dinner at a reduced rate, and so that the PVMFL Mother's Day event does not lose money while doing so. It can be done.

*If agreeable, it is suggested that we start NOW in preparation for the 2012 PVMCL Mother's Day Dinner where we look to significantly expand student involvement in the Dinner this coming year, and go from there.


Again, if we are ever going to end abortion in America...then the youth of our country HAVE TO be a strong part of the mission to accomplish this. What is suggested is that we take this one positive step with the PVMCFL Mother's Day Dinner.
