DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

St. Cloud State University for Life Sets the Bar High
                                 
                                 

by Angela Erickson, SFLA Northern Regional Coordinator


                                 St. Cloud State University for Life 
continues to set the bar for what an active and effective club looks 
like—and they set that bar high. This month, their consistent execution 
of a variety of events did not go unnoticed by Students for Life of 
America! This club is continually exploring new ways to reach out to 
their peers at St. Cloud State University.


                                 In Minnesota there are three pro-life 
bills that are being discussed in the legislature (Taxpayer Funding of 
Abortions, Born Alive Infant Protection Act, and Licensure and 
Inspection of Abortion Facilities) and when we found out that NARAL was 
organizing people to attend a committee hearing on their behalf, SCSU 
for Life was one of the first schools to get on board to testify at the 
capitol that very day! Within 24 hours they recruited students to come 
and make a statement on all these bills.


                                 On March 4th, SCSU for Life Vice 
President Brody Hagemeier eloquently testified before the entire Health 
and Human Resources Committee to encourage them to pass a law banning 
taxpayer funding of abortions in the state. The best part is that 
because of the courage of these students, all three bills passed. Nice 
try, NARAL!

Event-in-a-Box:
                                 Abortion Changes You


                                 It is likely that many of the students 
and faculty that you encounter are impacted by their own or a loved 
one’s abortion experience.

     
                            It is estimated that 1 out of 3 women in the
 U.S. will undergo an abortion by the time they are 45. Studies also 
indicate that 1 out of 5 abortions are performed on college-aged women.


                                 Many suffer in silence, not knowing 
where to turn. Shame and fear of judgment often keep them feeling 
isolated and alone.

            
                     SFLA and Abortion Changes You are partnering 
together this month to encourage you to activate the 3 E’s: Explore your
 understanding of the impact of abortion and compassionate 
communication, Expose after-abortion healing resources and Exhibit your 
support while gently inviting those who have been impacted by an 
abortion to begin the healing process.

A Nerdy Analogy

Pro-lifers
 want to see progress towards ending abortion for their efforts. It is 
human nature – we fight hard for something, so we want to see our hard 
work pay off. Sometimes we plant seeds of conviction and hope in 
someone’s heart and someone else gets to see the fruit later down the 
road. When it comes to public opinion, sometimes we don’t see fruit for a
 long time because it can take a very long time to bear fruit. But we 
can never make the mistake of thinking this means our efforts are in 
vain, as some have regrettably made recently. When it comes to politics,
 culture, and changing the world, the nerdy Biomedical Sciences major in
 me comes out to produce a rather nerdy, yet inspiring, analogy.
