UK hit artist Ed Sheeran has written a  beautiful new song that recognizes the precious value of preborn babies. Sheeran writes "Small Bump" from the less-heard-from perspective of a father who is thinking about his child in the womb.

Encouraging Words From Generation Y

By Micaiah Bilger, Education Coordinator
Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation

 Last month felt like celebrating Christmas again here at the office.

Every morning, a new brown paper package or thick envelope arrived at my desk. More surprises waited for me in my email inbox. Soon I had a big stack of these, and I could hardly wait to open them!

These delightful packages and emails contained students' essays for our Pro-Life Essay Contest. We received hundreds of submissions from students all across the state.

As I read them, I felt warmed by the fact that so many students are carrying on the mission to protect the right to life at all stages. 

I was intrigued by the personal stories that the students shared - the joy of seeing a new sibling on an ultrasound screen, the heartbreak of hearing about a friend's secret abortion, or the infuriating suggestion of euthanizing a grandparent. 

Most of all, I felt encouraged by their wisdom about the value of human life. Let me share some of their thoughts with you:

"Life cannot be measured with days and months. Life is Life. When it begins, it begins at conception." - Adriana

"I believe women are strong. Women are strong to give birth and strong enough to live with rejection. I don't, however, think women are strong enough to live with the fact that they couldn't be strong enough to do what their mothers did for them - give the gift of life." - Olivia

"The idea that we do not know or cannot fully understand what is in a pregnant mother's womb is ludicrous. Science supports the fact that the unborn baby is human and thus deserving of legal protection." - Holden

"Someone that is pro-abortion would say that a fetus is not really a baby but is instead just a cluster of cells or a blob of tissue. ... are we not then just larger clusters of cells or bigger blobs of tissue?" - Anthony

Later this spring, we will announce the winners of our student Pro-Life Essay and Oratory Contests. Please keep watching to find out who these talented students are. 

New Gosnell Documentary Is a Must-Watch Film

An excellent new documentary offers an informative look at the atrocities of the Kermit Gosnell abortion center in Philadelphia.

The short film "3801 Lancaster" shows clips from the grand jury report and interviews with women who had abortions at Gosnell's center. Gosnell is expected to stand trial this spring for the murder of a woman and seven newborn babies.

Minus Five: Pa. Sees Drop in Abortion Centers

 

The number of surgical abortion facilities in the state dropped in the past year, according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Previously, there were 22 abortion centers operating in Pennsylvania. Now there are only 17.

  

This occurred after passage of the landmark abortion center regulation bill, Act 122. The Pa. Pro-Life Federation legislative team was instrumental in the passage of this ground-breaking bill.

  

It is our fervent hope that fewer abortion facilities will mean fewer abortions in Pennsylvania.
