Teenagers launch campaign to send one million pro-life letters to the White House

LifeSiteNews: 15-year-old Angela Kim and the five other members of the Teenage Life Club are sending letters to the White House and the Supreme Court this month calling for an end to abortion. And they are looking for a few hundred thousand people to join them. The goal of the group’s 2012 Pro-Life Letter Writing Campaign is to flood the White House and the Supreme Court with one million pro-life letters during the month of March.

“We know that abortion is not going to end just because a million letters are sent, but we also know that the letters will represent pro-life people in our nation as well as the million babies aborted every year in the United States alone,” Angela told LifeSiteNews. “We are hoping that it will remind people of the need to elect an actively pro-life president and other governmental officials.”

It’s an ambitious project for a small, newly-formed group of teenage girls, whose involvement in pro-life work has so far been confined to the local level. The six members, who live in five different states, have taken advantage of their geographical distance to get the word out across the country. “Many pastors have been very supportive,” says Angela. “Eight churches support our cause now in six different states, and more are constantly joining the campaign.”
