Courageous: Students Abolishing Abortion in this Lifetime

by Kristan Hawkins

Everyday in America, pro-life students are ending abortion. The young people of this generation have survived abortion and have dedicated their lives to ending the greatest human rights tragedy our world has ever known. Yet, their stories, which are real and messy, won't make the news headlines. However, they must be told. It will be their stories that inspire and encourage others to join with us to abolish abortion in our lifetime.

This is another openly pro-life, anti-abortion book that was sent to me when I donated to a pro-life organization. After a forward by Jason Jones, Co-Executive Producer of the pro-life, pro-adoption movie Bella, who as a seventeen-year-old boy suffered the loss of his child when his pregnant girlfriend was forced to get an abortion by her parents (so much for the claim that pregnancy and abortion affect only women, so men should have no say on the subject), it tells the stories of twelve young people who have become leaders in the pro-life movement. They include a rape victim, unmarried pregnant college girls, victims of abusive relationships, a post-abortive mother, and an adoptive birth mother—all the kinds of so-called “exceptions” which the pro-abortion crowd continually cites to bolster their demands to keep abortion “safe and legal”—among others. The book ends with a chapter “Your Call to Be Courageous” by author, or more precisely editor since all the stories in the book are told in the first person by each individual, Kristan Hawkins, and some information about Students for Life of America (SFLA).

Of course, folks who are dedicated to endorsing and supporting abortion don’t like the book. One critical reviewer wrote, “Their intent is to ban legal abortions. Abortion has always, and will always occur. They don't want it? Fine. Don't have one. But don't presume to tell others how to live their lives.” I can just hear an ancestor of this person in 1856 reviewing Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stow. “Their intent is to ban legal slavery. Slavery has always, and will always occur. They don't want it? Fine. Don't have one. But don't presume to tell others how to live their lives.” These stories, which are real and messy, will inspire and encourage others to join with the movement to abolish abortion in our lifetime.

This book was VERY inspiring. It was like a pro-life pep talk, profiling some of the young, dedicated pro-lifers from around the nation. Very encouraging to read.
