Youth give reasons why they are pro-life

ROSH

Why he is pro-life: “I am pro-life because life begins at the moment of fertilization. Upon that very instance, humanity is defined and is divinely created for a purpose, a reason and a passion. That life is valuable to an infinite degree. As the child grows and develops and is then born, life is constantly happening. Some of the most important stages of life are completed inside the womb. Jesus Christ taught us to love. I can not comprehend how ending a life, at any stage for any reason, is an example of that very love.

I am pro-life in all things from conception to natural death.

Ashley Marie Colantuono
Age: 19

Hometown: Delaware

Hobbies/interests: “Pro-life activism, discovering new bands, hanging out with friends, traveling, reading”

Favorite bands: “Coolhand Luke, Matisyahu, Underoath, Paramore, This Providence, Coheed and Cambria, Karate High School”

Why she is pro-life: “I’m pro-life because I believe everyone should be treated with justice, respect and with love no matter how small they are or where they’re located. Abortion is not a ‘choice.’ Abortion is the act of killing the child that is growing within the mother’s womb. This horrible and selfish act has been inflicted and passed on to my generation, and it is time we take a stand, saying, ‘No, I will not pass this on to the next one!!!!!’”

Dylan Mitchell Wolters
Age: 18

Hometown: Duke Center, Pennsylvania

Hobbies/interests: “I enjoy playing music (guitar, drums, bass, piano, singing), listening to music and fireworks.  I love them soooo much.”

Favorite bands: “Underoath, The Fall of Troy, City and Colour, As Cities Burn, Say Anything, Yann Tiersen, Emarosa”

Why he is pro-life: “I am pro life because it’s just right. God has blessed us with the ability to have children and to bring beautiful new life into the world, and to try to rob that child’s chances of having an awesome life is a terrible thing.

Jaynee Addison
Age: 21 years young

Hometown: Gillette, Wyoming

Hobbies/interests: “Singing, dancing, people, my Jesus, intellectual conversations, listening and kids ”

Favorite bands: “Paramore, Fireflight (my home dawgs – ha), Damien Rice, Johnny Cash, FF 5, Jeremy Camp, Shawn McDonald, Flyleaf, and Iron and Wine. Those are just a few.

Why she is pro-life: “The main reason I’m pro-life is that life does begin at conception, and Jesus created us in the womb. So many women out there have a misconception that life doesn’t start until the last trimester or when you give birth, and that’s not the case. So many women are hurting out there because of abortions, and so many are out there incredibly confused. That’s where I and all other women, come in and listen, care, love and share the beauty of life and when it does start, and also how the baby grows each and every day.”
