Looking at Life Through Different Eyes
|
|
By Maria Gallagher, Legislative Director
When I was working as a journalist, I attempted to look at events through the eyes of the individuals I interviewed. I wanted to understand their perspective so that I could represent it fairly. I discovered that, often times, where a person stood depended on where he or she sat--in other words, his or her position in life often determined his or her viewpoint.
Now, as a pro-life advocate, I try to view life through various eyes: the eyes of the preborn child who just needs a chance to be born and make a mark in the world. The eyes of a pregnant woman who is facing difficult--but not impossible--obstacles along her path. The eyes of a person with disabilities who sees symbols of discrimination throughout society. The eyes of a frail elderly person who feels especially vulnerable in today's throwaway culture.
When I write an op-ed piece, I strain to see the life issues through the eyes of pro-abortion advocates. I struggle to see what they believe they see, so that I can counter their arguments in a clear-eyed fashion. I hope that, in time, they will see the incontrovertible truth: that life begins at conception, and that abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia are tragedies which must be fought through peaceful, legal means of engagement.
I have to admit that, once I received a call to the pro-life movement, the way that I viewed life changed dramatically. It was as if the blinders had been lifted from my eyes and I was able finally to see clearly.
Involvement in the pro-life movement is an eye-opening experience. My fervent hope is that many, many more people will join its ranks, so that the beautiful vision of a culture of life can be realized in our beloved country.
