Fighting Never Stops

Last week we went to Washington D.C. for a demonstration aginst the mandate that includes abortion in the basic coverage of all health insurances, even the ones provided by pro-life employers and the Catholic Church.

After it we had the chance to learn about the history of the city, as well as the country, which are very intertwined. For me, as a foreniger, what surprised me the most was how all the major fights and events in this country had been about liberty and equality. Fighting for it, preserving it, and celebrating it.


But now, the fight has changed, even though we are fighting for the same, now we don't fight each other on battlefields, or in war boats. We we fight for the equality of the unborn, but the real fight is for the truth. Once back, people were teached that african americans weren't real people, that they were inferior, and as hard as that may be to believe, beople accepted it as the truth.


Until a man rose up and fought for the truth, and many more folowed. But our endevor these days may be even greater, because the unborn, unlike african americans, cannot speak up, fight for themselves.


They can only hope we will protect them, fight for them with everything that we've got, because after all, somebody fought for us before we came. We were protected in the womb and in society.

As the great figures of history such as the Founding Fathers and Reverend Martin Luther King fought for our liberty and equality, now is our turn to fight against the injustice of abortion, even when it seems hard. Because all great things have been achieved with even GREATER EFFORT.
