The Emerging Face of the Right-to-Life Movement: Wisconsin Right to Life's Teen Leaders Testify for Life.
Every single one of them could have been lost to abortion.
That reality struck me as I watched one amazing, articulate, beautiful girl after another amazing, beautiful, articulate girl take the chair to address a state senate committee.
The bill, SB 398, is an attempt to repeal Wisconsin's protective pro-life statute 940.04 which would immediately shelter unborn children from abortion upon the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
The girls are members of the abortion generation. They are sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins, and friends. They are members of Wisconsin Teens for Life and graduates of Wisconsin Right to Life's summer leadership training camps.
In short, they are the face of the right-to-life movement, and they are beautiful.
In front of a hostile committee chair, one by one they testified that abortion has decimated their generation. Many had personal stories about how they escaped the abortion holocaust. Every single one of them made their parents and the entire right-to-life movement proud.
Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Allbaugh, of Richland Center, shared the story of her mother's high-risk pregnancy with a child who, doctors said, would either die or have serious physical disabilities. Thankfully, her mother had the courage to carry that child, Alyssa, to term.
