It’s That Time of Year
— Posted by John (August 9, 2010 at 12:33 pm)

With the new school year right around the corner, we’ve recently heard from a number of students across the country who are looking for help in getting pro-life clubs started at their high schools.
We love getting these requests, since helping get new pro-life clubs up and running is one of the main reasons GFL exists.
It’s for this reason that we created our Pro-Life Curriculum, which is designed as a manual for forming and maintaining an effective pro-life club.

Before I worked for GFL, I was a high school teacher, and our pro-life club used one of the first versions of the curriculum when I served as its moderator. Once we started using it, it made things a lot easier, because we no longer felt we had to “re-invent the wheel” every time we had to plan a meeting or a club activity.
If you’re looking to get a pro-life club started in your high school, I would encourage you to check out our Pro-Life Curriculum, beginning with the chapter on Starting a Pro-Life Club [PDF].
We released our Pro-Life Curriculum nearly four years ago, and I’m amazed at the positive feedback it continues to generate.
A few months ago we received an edifying e-mail from Amanda, the president of the Angels for Life club at Loretto Academy in El Paso, Texas:
I just wanted to thank Generations for Life once again for sending the Pro-Life Curriculum to us! I used it for the last three meetings, and it brought on some great discussions and involvement. I can’t wait for next year to use the entire curriculum!
I appreciate so much the advice you gave. It really helped, and I know that next year will be so much better because of the help we received from Generations for Life. Once again, thank you!
Theresa, a high school student from Illinois, wrote to tell us:
I just wanted to say thank you for putting together the amazing Pro-Life Club Curriculum. It is exactly the approach I need totake to present a persuasive argument to my class. It also solidified once again my pro-life stance. Thank you very much for your efforts in creating such a binder with every possible fact, rebuttal, and pro-life alternative.
If you don’t already have our Pro-Life Curriculum, you can order one here.
And if you do already have one, please tell your friends about it and encourage them to a get a copy for themselves.
And, as always, please feel free to contact us if you ever need any additional advice for starting a club. We’d be happy to help!

John,
In case you are looking for engaging discussion material for your high school students, I just finished reading a stunning e-novel about the tragedy of abortion entitled “The Lincoln Conversations” by L. Paul Brehm. I picked it up on Amazon and read it on my PC. It’s a contemporary story about a Main Line Philadelphia family. The two teenage children, including the pregnant daughter, are both pro-life; the parents are pro-choice. The story details in the most electrifying way the chilling and corrosive effect abortion has on individuals, families, and society in general. The younger people see that better than their parents. It would not be appropriate for students younger than high school, but if you are looking for something designed to get a debate going, it may be worth your while to take a look at “The Lincoln Conversations”.

Yeah, but it’s fiction isn’t it. That allows any message to be put across, accurate or not.
