Speaking out for life

With courage, enthusiasm and a few butterflies in their stomachs, prolife teens competed in a state-wide oratory contest. From across Michigan, 16 young people participated in the Right to Life of Michigan Education Fund Oratory Contest. For 15 contestants, this marked the end of an exciting and challenging competition, but for the first-place Michigan winner the speaking continues at the national level.

Katrina Jackson, a senior at Saginaw's Community Baptist Christian School, was awarded the first-place title. Katrina received a check for $500 and an all-expense paid trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, to compete in the National Right to Life Committee Oratory Contest in June.

Each participant expressed his/her desire to promote the value of life by speaking out confidently and passionately. These young people will continue being a voice for the weakest members of our society, proving that we can all work to promote life.
