  • Purpose

    The Pro-Life Scholarship Essay Contest is designed to encourage high school seniors to dive deeper into understanding the issues of abortion and how it continues to affect our culture as well as individuals' lives. It is our hope that through careful research and study, students will gain a deeper understanding of prenatal development, abortion procedures, and loving and compassionate ways to support those facing unplanned pregnancies. Students should research their essay topics in order to write well thought out, original, and persuasive pro-life arguments.

    Writing Prompt:  An unmarried friend or family member confides in you that they are facing an unplanned pregnancy and are planning to have an abortion. In a loving, winsome way, how would you attempt to convince them of the importance of valuing the life of this baby and continuing the pregnancy?
