I was raised in a pro-life Christian family, but no one ever talked about abortion.
And so being a young person on social media and talking with friends, all I ever heard was that narrative of women's rights and health care.
And I'm like, of course, I support women's rights.
Of course, I support health care.
And it wasn't until high school I had a foster sister that I cared very deeply about.
I always had a heart for children in need and caring deeply about her.
One day in high school, I was talking to my peers and they were kind of talking about abortion.
And again, I didn't know much about it other than it was health care.
And I was kind of just listening in until one of the students in my class said to me, Lydia, we need abortion because foster children like your sister are better off aborted.
And I was like, what?
What did you just say?
And I mean, in that moment, I had to imagine a world without my sister and without the joy she brings to this world.
And I realized that abortion was not something that was good.
It wasn't a solution to any problems that the abortion industry is advocating to eliminate foster children instead of support them like the pro-life movement is doing.
And so I went home, quickly did my research, found Students for Life, became unapologetically pro-life and
have been involved ever since, and now it's my full-time job.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
I think it's hilarious.
They claim to care about women, but really they're just exploiting those 1% stories, those 1% cases to justify abortion for any reason up until the moment of birth.
