I subscribe to the full gamut of Catholic periodicals that range from "ultra-conservative" to "ultra-liberal". I was reading a weekly newspaper that most would consider to be "ultra-conservative". I was so pleased to see an article about a woman that has developed a regional "Walk for Life" event. When I fist saw the headline, I figured this was an event to raise funds for the typical pro-life causes - overturning Roe v. Wade, abstinence education, etc. However, this woman raises funds to help unwed mothers that have already given birth. The funds are used for baby items and other necessities, as well as programs to help these women be effective mothers. In her own words, the woman said, "If the pro-life activists would commit a fraction of the energy they spend on marches and rallys to provide resources to unwed mothers, the entire pro-life movement would be much farther ahead than it is."
I could not have said it better.
