Coffee shops, all-nighters, friends, football, concerts, fraternities, papers. The college campus buzzes with the excitement of young people with energy and curiosity. Higher education is a great gift and privilege, and those attending college leave formed by their professors, their experiences, and their peers.
The campus is also the heart of vigorous discourse, learning, and debate. Students’ preconceptions and worldviews are questioned, probed, and transformed. Seldom will students have so much liberty to sincerely seek the answers to questions of life, faith, and values as they have on the college campus.
The college campus is also the heart of the abortion debate. Take, for example, the new college campus internship offered by Planned Parenthood. The largest abortion provider in the nation will be sending 10 college interns to campuses in Illinois to start Advocates for Choice groups. The presence of these groups transforms the classroom, paper assignments, coffee shop, and dormitory the front lines in the battle for a culture of life. Now, more than ever, pro-life students have the opportunity to educate, engage, and change the minds of their peers.
