Take Action:
What can we do to advocate for families? I personally began by educating myself on the subject through my classes at BYUI, and by reading different articles that pertain to this topic. United Families International is a great resource, and they have many more articles with a wide range of different topics to choose from. I have found that talking with friends and family about this is also a great way to start in making a difference and in educating others. Social media is a helpful tool in spreading the word and keeping updated on information and changes that are happening. Thank you for reading this blog, keeping yourself well informed, for educating yourself and others, and for wanting to make a difference.

October Baby
The reason I have chosen to post video clips from the movie October Baby on my blog, is because it can describe to you more than I can, the reality of the pain, sorrow, confusion, healing, and forgiveness that is connected to abortions. I personally don't have much experience with abortion. I saw this movie for the first time one year ago, and watched it again a few months ago. I was influenced by it and hope you will also. My passion for this topic began a few years ago with different experiences leading to certain outcomes, and I decided I wanted to educate myself more on the subject and educate others about it. I feel the prophets always can explain things better than I can, so here is an article about abortion by Elder Nelson. Enjoy!

Family Advocacy Class
I am in my second to last semester at Brigham Young University Idaho, and this blog was originally created for my family relations class last spring semesters. I am continuing this blog for my family advocacy class I am taking during this fall semester. Part of the requirements for this class have been to write a set of papers on a certain topic. I chose abortion and have enjoyed learning more about the controversial subject. Here on this blog, I will continue posting articles, updates, videos regarding the family and the sacredness of life. Thx so much for your feedback and support!
