A Call to Action

As my friends and I stepped out of my car, I was unsure what to expect. It was one of my first times praying outside of an abortion clinic, and I was a bit apprehensive. I had always supported the pro-life movement, but this was a new way of showing it. Standing up for what…

Can There Be Unity within Abortion?

With the year of isolation and havoc finally behind us, I’ve found that the word “unity” has come to the forefront of my mind often. Togetherness. Harmony. Solidarity.
