Jackson Students for Life featured in Jackson Citizen-Patriot

On December 26, the Jackson Citizen-Patriot carried an article on the Jackson Students for Life, a group of prolife high school and college students from Jackson County who work to protect life at all stages.
The group is focusing on education and issues such as euthanasia and embryonic stem-cell research. It has set up information booths at events, protested and prayed in front of facilities that perform abortions, and hosted euchre, pizza and movie nights to reach out to other students.

Students have also been working to start their own pro-life groups in their schools.

Maggie Emmert, a freshman at Lumen Christi High School, said she has always opposed abortion.

“My mom didn’t have to choose life,” said Emmert, 15.

“I don’t think a lot of people appreciate that their mothers didn’t choose abortion.”
