Dear Art Kelly,
Abortion activists at NARAL, a radical pro-abortion organization, have a
problem. They're running out of committed supporters and don't know why.
The group just released survey results showing an "intensity gap" among
young voters. More than half of pro-lifers under age 30 considered
abortion a "very important" voting issue, compared to just one-quarter
of abortion-minded youth. This comes at the heels of a Gallup poll
<http://www.lifeissues.org/breakingnews/2010/Gallup_generation.pdf>
announcing that 18- to 29-year-olds are now the most likely, of all age
groups, to favor making abortion illegal in all circumstances.
The wave of pro-life passion puzzles NARAL President Nancy Keenan. In
this week's Newsweek
<http://www.lifeissues.org/breakingnews/2010/Newsweek_Roe.pdf>
magazine, Keenan recalled her visit to the March for Life rally in
Washington, DC. The annual event drew tens of thousands of energized
pro-lifers. "I just thought, my gosh, they are so young," she told the
reporter. "There are so many of them, and they are so young."
Pro-abortion activists aren't accustomed to seeing so many young people
in their circles. A natural outshoot of choosing a line of work that
promotes death. But like most other aging abortion proponents, Keenan
can't seem to connect the dots. Where, they marvel, have all their young
supporters gone? Former NARAL President Kate Michelman admits
information is on the side of pro-lifers. "The technology has clearly
helped to define how people think about a fetus as a full, breathing
human being," she told Newsweek. "The other side has been able to use
the technology to its own end."
And she's right. Our mission at Life Issues Institute is to educate
communities with the truth, and we're succeeding every day. Mothers
continually tell us they decided against an abortion because they saw
their baby by ultrasound-that they walked out of the abortion mill
because of a compelling photograph. That they changed their mind because
they read a brochure about the development of their unborn baby.
But there's an even more obvious, and tragic explanation for NARAL's
problem. The mathematical reality is that their supporters grew up,
exercised their "right" to kill their children, and now who's left? A
lot of blossoming families who do value life.
The beauty of the pro-life movement is our children. From small
beginnings, they grow to become influential young adults who can stand
for life, because they have it. Until every child is guaranteed that
right to life, we will continue to fight with passion, with hope and
with truth on our side.
For life,
Bradley Mattes
