Originally published in the May 1, 2008 edition of the Catholic Northwest Progress, this is an interview with Ken VanDerhoef, a native of Seattle and founder of National Right to Life. Incidentally, he has been in poor health, so keep him in your prayers.
As the youth of our generation, we are committed to embracing the Holy Father's call to live the Gospel of Life with courage and conviction. We consider it our duty and great honor to defend the lives of our unborn brothers and sisters in a manner that is both uncompromising and compassionate. We endeavor to show the truth about abortion, to reach out with charity to the women and men whose lives have been affected by abortion, and to reveal the inherent beauty and dignity of every human life, from the moment of conception until natural death.

Sacrifice of the Month
Every month, Youth for Life offers a sacrifice in union with the sufferings of Christ for an end to abortion.
For this month, make one holy hour for an end to abortion and for guidance as we contemplate God's Will for us concerning the legalization of assisted suicide.
