I dare you to ask yourself a dangerous question, a question that radically changed my time at university and continues to get me out of bed even on daunting mornings: is the fear that is holding me back more important than the message I have to share? Or, will the reality of 300 innocent lives lost every day to abortion in Canada propel me to overcome my fears and insecurities? … All of us would prefer to merely dip our toes or wade in the waters of the cause. But injustices are never righted by people taking an occasional lukewarm interest. Conviction must lead to commitment if we are to succeed in ending abortion. It requires us to be brave and bold enough to stop hugging the shoreline and dive past our fears into the deep uncertain waters of a life lived for others. - Rebecca Richmond (NCLN)
