Pro-Life
Generation Life is committed to spreading the messages of life and love. The message of life is the pro-life message, but what does it mean to be pro-life? It means more than just being against abortion! To be pro-life, we respect all life from the first moment of conception until natural death-and everything in between! The weak, the poor, the lonely, the sick, the homeless, the handicapped, the young, and the old all deserve our love and respect.
The most important pro-life battle is against abortion because there are about 4,000 abortions every day in this country alone! Since 1973, there have been over 47 million abortions in the United States. These little ones cannot speak for themselves, and their mothers are often under immense pressure from society, circumstance and even family members to abort the baby.
It is not just children who are destroyed by abortion, but mothers and fathers suffer as well from what society calls an easy choice. Take a look at the testimonies from the women of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
What's the connection between abortion and chastity? About 84% of abortions are on mothers who are not married to the father of the child. So, if we really understood the good news about our sexuality and were committed to chastity, do you think we could eliminate 84% of abortions? You better believe it!
Doctors, lawmakers and those with a misguided agenda have convinced mothers and fathers that their unborn child is not a real life. It's time to change this! You didn't create this mess, but you can help us get out of it!
Pro-Abortion
The pro-abortion (so-called pro-choice) argument says that because the unborn child isn't developed fully yet, then that little person has no human rights. Does that make any sense? Are you as big as you are going to be one day? Are you going to get smarter? Do you think you will become more emotionally mature? You better believe it! How big you are or your abilities do not determine your worth-the fact that you are a human being created in God's image and likeness does!
Human beings develop and grow in different stages. Embryonic, fetal, infant, toddler, childhood, adolescent, young adult, adulthood, and senior citizen. All different stages of life are equal in value. Dr. Seuss had it right when he said, "A person's a person no matter how small!"
So, let's take a look at the very first moments of your existence. You will see the adventure that was your life from the first moment of your conception until the day you now call your birthday!
