Hey everyone!
Belated Christmas wishes in February
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break! Yes, I do say “Christmas break” rather than “winter break” because that is the reason for the break; the reason why we have always had our school semesters designed to break around the month of December. During this time, we acknowledge if not praise the powerful and historical story of a baby born of one simple young woman. A woman who encountered very difficult circumstances, but at the same time trusted in God’s providence … and then gave birth to a King who would redeem all mankind. This is the hope we bear as pro-life students: that each human life has infinite worth and potential! Regardless of your faith background, I hope at least this hope-filled recount touched your heart during a wonderful several weeks off from school!
March for Life wrap-up
Following our break, UWF Students for Life made its first-ever trip to Washington D.C. to get a taste of the super large pro-life march. This year, we had an estimated 400,000!!! 90% being young people – abortion holocaust SURVIVORS – taking a stand against the unjust ruling of Roe v. Wade and the other degrading rulings that mark our history!
We saw great numbers of college students, such as the group from Notre Dame numbering in the HUNDREDS. We saw highschoolers, middleschoolers, kids, toddlers, babies, young parents, and even a couple older parents… If anyone tells you that the March for Life is for senior citizens, they have not set foot NEAR the March for Life!
To find out more about our experience, come to our first UWF Students for Life meeting this February 24th (Wednesday) from 7PM-9PM in the Commons Room 225.
Also, don’t forget to check out our pictures from the March on our website! We will definitely be going up to the March for Life next year, and with many more people. Start saving up now and thinking about who else might like to go, and I will do my part to keep you posted about trip planning.

I hope you all are celebrating the wonderful victory we have had with 40 Days for Life this year, having the 9th Avenue abortion clinic close. It really is a miracle! 413 days: an oversight for a “professional profiting clinic”? I don’t think so… If that were to happen at one of the hospitals around here, there would be outrage. This is a miracle, and your prayers and participation were a part of it! Thank you for those who participated! You can read what the national director of 40 Days For Life had to say about our victory here.
There will be a recount on the success of this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign and I highly recommend listening! This will be a national webcast with former-director of Planned Parenthood, Abby Johnson, our local 40 Days for Life coordinators: Ernie and Mary-Beth Cyr, and other influential people who have experienced miracles in their own towns. Also, plans for this coming Spring’s 40 Days will be discussed. The webcast will start at 8PM Central time this Monday, and last an hour. If you can’t catch all of it, maybe you can catch some…

Have a great weekend and remember to pass on the great news!
