More than 100 Minnesota young people lobbied their lawmakers to ban cruel saline abortions at the 2008 MCCL Student Day at the state capitol in St. Paul. Their educational experience also included an exclusive meeting with pro-life Gov. Tim Pawlenty and presentations from MCCL's lobbyists.
"MCCL Student Day at the Capitol offers young people a uniquely pro-life learning and lobbying experience," said Scott Fischbach, MCCL executive director. "Student Day is one of our most effective programs for equipping students to become tomorrow's pro-life leaders."
Pawlenty Encourages Kids
Pawlenty said he looks forward to speaking with young people every year at MCCL Student Day. He explained that every principleincluding every pro-life principleis one generation away from extinction. Pawlenty challenged students to become lifelong pro-life activists.
"Winning over the hearts and minds of your friends and neighbors is important," Pawlenty said. "That translates into public support for pro-life measures, which then translates into legislative and congressional support."
