Abstract
Roughly one quarter of all American pregnancies end with an aborted
life (USCCB Publication no. 5-714). How can I, in a positive manner, deal
with this evil and offense to God in my ministry? I propose to assemble a general pro-life presentation to be offered to 7" and 8" grade students in the 2009-2010 academic year or later. Generally, this age group is where the
first stirrings of curiosity about creating life could be matched with the
physical ability to begin reproductive activity. This segment of children at
this age are exposed to endless and pervasive images (i.e., through the
internet, motion pictures, and consumer product advertising) of the
sensationalizing of sex without being aware of the moral, theological,
societal, or even the medical aspects of that activity. Hands-on learning
begins to flourish at this stage; therefore, realistic physical and scale models
seem to interest this age group and may influence Citron counteract) the
multiple electronic images they experience. I therefore chose this and a
similar rationale to begin to construct this educational mission to bring the
truth about abortion and other pro-life issues to junior high students before
the lies and the twisted logic of the secular world influence them.
