North Dakota Judges Forced to Allow Down Syndrome Abortions Even Though They’re “Eugenic”

  Something unusual happened recently in a courthouse in Fargo, North Dakota. Two federal appeals judges, Ralph Erickson and Bobby Shepherd, were reviewing an Arkansas bill that would make it illegal to target babies with Down Syndrome for abortion. They wanted the bill to be allowed. But a 1992 judicial precedent forced them to deem it unconstitutional. So what did Judge Erickson do? He asked the Supreme Court to overturn the previous bad decision and give states the authority to ban abortions. The dissent written by Erickson delved deeply into his concerns that this type of license to kill based

Pro-Life High School Leader Raises $1,300 for Local Pregnancy Center

 

Guest Post by Erin Earl, Peoria Notre Dame High School

In January of 2019, I heard about SFLA’s Fellowships and was instantly interested in learning more. I wanted to be a fellow because I am so passionately pro-life and truly admire the work that SFLA does which made me want to be part of that.  

During a Respect Life Week I organized for this fellowship, I witnessed my school stepping up when it came to helping women in need.  

Our group at our school is fairly big and to get the year started we wanted to host a Respect Life Week at our school. This would bring more awareness to the school about the pro-life movement. Throughout the whole week, we had various events that we had that members of the group and the school could participate in.

These events consisted of decorating the school in red, 40 days for Life, Divine Mercy Chaplet during lunch, pro-life chalk outside of the school, attending a Respect Life Dinner in our town, and even a screening of the movie Unplanned the weekend before the kick-off. It was a very full week of many different events that required our board to be very hands-on. 

But when I look back at that week, the most successful part of it all was raising $1,300 for our local pregnancy resource center. 

Since I go to a Catholic high school, we have to wear school uniforms every day. One day during the week we told the school, with permission from the administration, that with a donation of at least a dollar you could get out of school uniform for one day. It was so exciting to see so many people willing to donate money that they knew was going to help women that go to the local pregnancy help center.  

The Thaddeus Stevens Fellowship gave me the opportunity to collaborate with many amazing pro-life leaders. 

This year, more than any other, I felt like I had people to turn to when I needed help. In the Stevens Fellowship, we all became really good friends. When I had a question or a situation came up in our pro-life group, I knew a network of people that I could turn to for advice.  

These fellows have become more than just people I met in June. They have become life-long friends and contacts I can always talk to. This past year I spent in the fellowship has solidified my desire be a pro-life activist for the rest of my life.
