Do you mind joins us right now thank you much for being here today.

For a -- about what you're finding you're saying that more young people are becoming energized in the pro life movement.

Telling us how you can back that up is some evidence.

Well actually -- Gallup poll and other polls are just showing us that young people are predominantly pro life so.

That that would be the evidence backing it up that I guess another point would be.

-- to be attending the annual march for life which is the largest pro life events in the world.

Here in the United States and here in Washington DC on the anniversary of -- every year.

We'll see that it did 85% of the participants are young people the bright shining excited thanks -- thinks so many young people are taking part in this movement now.

I think young people know that abortion is the human rights issue of today.

They're they're growing up and and they're missing a whole generation of their siblings of their peers and they want to make this right.

Many of them are not even born when the Roe vs.

Wade discussion was even coming up in -- court it's true it's true and so it's interesting I think a bit.

Advances in science and technology are also.

Changing sort of the court of public debate in particular with young people so we see ultrasound -- beating -- in a very young age we hear the beating heart.

Vigorously on campuses across the country to it is students for life of America has something like 600 clubs around the United States and different college campuses.

There's there's a rigorous debate that we're we're also seeing folks from the other side for example mayoral pro choice America they're leaders have been stepping down because they think that they can't recruit the young people in the way that we -- So when you see that happening -- -- for example what is that telling you is telling you that more young people are.

Studying the issue and deciding that.

The project you know making up their -- and -- without a lot of -- and propaganda.

I think it's it's telling me that we're winning I mean it's true that we're we're here you know we're about to commemorate four decades of Ralph.

And we -- 55 million unique human lives to -- -- in the last four decades that.

That's atrocious and it it's heartbreaking but at the same time -- signs of hope we're winning we're winning one young person at a time and frankly once stayed at a time.

They're all sorts of laws being enacted at the state level that are pro life.

And that restrict the number of abortions irony I've read a comment here that you believe that one day that the end of abortion in America will be.

-- and -- these pro lifers -- young people I think the young people are gonna change the tide that's an icy.

I see a lot of enthusiasm and and joy.

They know that abortion is not good for women that abortion not only takes the life of one but it hurts the life of another.

They've seen this with their friends and you know with their moms and they want to make -- change this new effort must give you renewed hope and energy for -- I'm ready to pass the time.
