Activists at StudentsforLife are empowering this generation, the pro-life generation, to win this fight, writes KristanHawkins. 'We are ready to make good on the American promise. Fight with us.'
Black history month began as a celebration of two great fighters for freedom: Abraham Lincoln, born on Feb. 12, and Frederick Douglass, born on Feb. 14. These men — an impoverished carpenter’s son and escaped slave — fought for every American’s rights to life and liberty. But today, those rights are threatened again by abortion. The legacy of Douglass and Lincoln is not complete until we put an end to abortion in this country once and for all.
Every American, without exception, is guaranteed the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In 1776, American colonists pledged their lives and their sacred honor to fight for those rights against the greatest empire in the world. This was the first fight for freedom. And at the cost of blood and treasure, it was won.
Despite all this, Douglass had hope. He knew that change would come “from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions.” He believed that in time, the promise of liberty could not be contained. He was right: just over a decade later, after a brutal and bloody civil war, the slaves were free. This was the second fight for freedom.
The existence of abortion in this country brands our republicanism as a sham. It makes our boasted liberty an unholy license. The legacy of the American Founders, of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, is not complete until all human life in this country is protected — including life in the womb.
