I'm back- had some unexpected things come up.
Coleus asks: "It's a great point and insight on your part but how do you propose having one teach pro life issues in the classroom or in the home?"
See Pro-Life Education Program
I believe that in Religion class, Bible Study CCD etc., one quarter of the year should be devoted to teaching the sanctity of life. There is already an enormous wealth of material available that is suitable for classroom use. A tailored program could be developed in no time if the powers that be wanted it.
Yes, it is a HUGE undertaking. That is why I am trying to make known the Respect Life Curriculum Guidelines , published in 1977 by the US Catholic Bishop’s. It is still available.
It was the bishop’s answer to fighting the scourge of abortion brought about by Roe v Wade in 1973. This 109 page book holds a tremendous potential to create a nation of pro-life Christians who would live, work, and VOTE to restore equal protection to all citizens—born and UNBORN.
The only result is that we have Respect Life month and week in October. Sadly it is unknown in much of the country and has little impact as a whole. This is what has become of a 109 page blue-print for change.
Here is an example:
Plastic Model of 11-12 Week Preborn Baby (aprox. 2 ¼" Long) Only 26 cents in large quantity. Each model comes with a PHOTO FRONT card which details fetal development on the back. From VictoryWon .
This is a very powerful but inexpensive model that is excellent for hands on teaching with students. When a student holds this model pre-born baby in their hands and is taught the truth of life before birth it will create a lasting impression. Students are instructed to "keep baby safe" as they will be all bringing "their babies" back to class for future lessons. Used till end of High School.
Fetal One Model
Fetal One Model CARD
Here is an idea that takes only 15 minutes and should be done annually from 8th - 12th: While each student holds their very own fetal model they watch Hard Truth . Other videos can also be used throughout the program. There are also videos that are great for younger grades.
