National Right to Life
The November digital edition of National Right to Life News came out Tuesday, November 21, two days before Thanksgiving. As always, the “pro-life newspaper of record” is an up-to-the-minute compilation of the stories that are most important to the pro-life community. Please read the issue in its entirety and pass its contents along to pro-life family and friends.
Last year Carol Tobias, NRLC’s president, wrote a wonderful column–“Bountiful Blessings on Thanksgiving”–that I would like to use as a jumping off point for this editorial. In her thoughtful remarks, Carol listed some of the primary reasons she was thankful as well as the principal reasons all pro-lifers should be filled with hope and encouragement. Those reasons are as strong today as they were a year ago.
Speaking for myself, the reason I am most thankful and which inspires the greatest hope are the people of our Movement. I do not travel as much as I used to, so the most prevalent way I communicate with grassroots pro-lifers is at NRLC’s annual convention (which next year will be in Kansas June 28-30) and through the email responses to the monthly NRL News and to the Monday through Saturday NRL News Today.
Through those one-on-one in-person conversations and the electronic back-and-forths, I see people genuinely inspired by life, grateful for life, and resolute in bringing to pass their vision for an America that will one day be abortion-free.
Something I’ve thought about a lot recently. You might argue that nothing better illustrates the contrasting worldviews that animate pro-lifers and pro-abortionists than how they react to natural disasters and the massive harm done to people.
Jay Hobbs wrote about the utter devastation Hurricane Mari wrought in Puerto Rico. Jay told us about Joseph Pardo who runs the woman-helping center Cree Women’s Center along with his wife, Daisy, and all that they had done to “meet humanitarian needs that include access to food, clean water, safe shelter, hygiene resources and clothing through Cree Women Center’s parent organization ‘Love the Nation.’”
