Pro-Lifers In Their Own Words-- Introduction

Some months ago, I developed the idea of presenting pro-life history to fetal rights activists.

I feel that we need to create a sense of community, a group identity, and I thought that the stories of pro-lifers would do that. So I decided to ask some activists to write on the theme of "How I Became Involved in the Pro-Life Movement."

I hope that these accounts will give readers some sense of what went before us. I think it's important to dispel the mystery of who pro-lifers are. We shouldn't let our opponents define us. We should give our own narratives. And I hope that these personal accounts will help create a personal connection in the pro-life community.
