When the Going Gets Tough … Look to Our Future!

By Joleigh Little, WTL Director, Wisconsin Right to Life

Spring is a time of hope and renewal—a chance to look forward and celebrate life. That it comes after a long, difficult winter for many areas of the country makes it all that more precious and welcome when it arrives. Many would say that we are now in the “winter of our discontent” in a political sense.

Babies... the one thing pro-life teens all have in common!  L-R Wisconsin's Amanda McClone, Rachel Schumacher and Bethany Schumacher take a moment out of their busy camp schedule to explain the importance of protecting innocent life to four-month-old Cairin Berg.

Pro-abortion forces hold the White House and both houses of Congress and they are engaged in a relentless assault on everything we hold dear. It’s easy, sometimes, to feel like we will never again see the “sunshine” that we enjoyed for the previous eight years—pro-life policies backed by a President committed to the cause of life.

But take heart—the future (if you can look beyond the immediate frustrations) is a very bright place. Think about what would happen if we raised up a generation so well-educated on the horrors of abortion that it became unthinkable. Regardless of the balance of power in Congress, progress for our cause is being made every day as we train young people to protect life.

So if you’re down or discouraged, take a moment to look into the future and imagine where each of these amazing young people will be in ten or twenty years. Regardless of what they do for a living, they will always be making a difference for LIFE!
