Some of the EMC interns went to a Pro-life Conference in the city of Washington in which we were there for one whole day sharing time with many pro-life leaders from all around the United States.
The programme was plenty of diferent conferences about all kind of issues: the myth of the unwanted child, The pro-life movement in Congress, Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood, Adult Stem- Cells: Saving lives now, The right to life and social media 2012, etc. Lots of students and pro-life people participated in these sessions and showed a high interest in the topic, puting questions about the current situation of abortion in the Unite States.
It was encouraging to meet other pro-life leaders because that gives us more strenght to do pro-life work in our countries when we come back, because we know we are no longer alone. In Spain the pro-life work is very different than in the US, but having this great experience and learning about a new point of view i will be able to put it in practice in Spain while doing these kind of activities.
The conferences opened my mind and helped me to realize that in the pro-life work we are all together fighting for the same reason, and that encourages a lot!
