New SPUC youth publication

Earlier this year SPUC launched a new online publication, a blog written by younger members of SPUC staff entitled Why I am Pro-Life. The aim of the blog is to bring the pro-life message to the next generation. Our hope is that it will both draw more young people to the pro-life movement and help to educate and strengthen the resolve of the many young people already determined to defend and promote life. However, the quality of the posts is such that it is essential reading for everybody involved in the pro-life movement. Despite all the media bias and pressure, all the indoctrination of school children with anti-life education, despite the largely toxic modern culture in which human life is wantonly disregarded and destroyed in so many ways - despite all this there is a growing number of people who see through the lies of our age and our determined to oppose them with the truth. Long may they continue in this resolve. May SPUC be of great assistance to them in their work.
