One of the great things about this internship with EMC, aside from the ability to save lives, is the great location! NYC is a hub of pro-life action with such groups as the Sisters of Life, Priests for Life, C-FAM, Silent No More Awareness, the Helpers of Gods Precious Infants, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, and Gianna Health care for Women. It is such an honor to fight this culture war alongside these dedicated people!
There is always a pro-life event going on in the City. Since starting my internship I have had the honor of attended a Silent No More event, a taping of Sunday Night Live with Fr. Benedict Groeschel, a Symposium on Abortion Law put on by Columbia University's Law Students for Life, the Profession of Vows of the Sisters of Life, a talk by Bobby Schindler brother to Terri Schiavo put on by Fordham University's Respect Life Club, the 50th Anniversary Mass of Fr. Benedict Groeschel, a National Right to Life Banquet honoring Ambassador Mary Ann Glendon, a Tim Tebow Rally at CBS Studios, the March for Life in DC, an Anti-Obamacare Rally on Capitol Hill in front of Nancy Palosi's office, the Family Life Conference in honor of Cardinal O'Conner hosted by the Sisters of Life, and a Pro-life Speaker Training Seminar in the Bronx. I have also gone on retreat with Helpers founder Msgr. Phillip Reiley, Met former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director Abbey Johnson, Fr. Frank Pavone and Fr. William Scott Daniels of Priests for Life, Alveda King Pro-life Advocate and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, Janet Morana of Silent No More Awareness, Jason Jones Producer of the movie Bella, the inventor of the Precious Feet pin, and Mark Karney co-founder of 40 Days for Life! This has truly been an amazing experience for me!
