SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins challenges young people to believe abortion is a winnable fight

Kristan Hawkins, the 28-year-old president of Students for Life of America, has had a busy week. She and her team organized the world’s largest student pro-life gathering in history, which took place on Tuesday. The next day, she led tens of thousands of youth in the March for Life in Washington. Oh, and did we mention that she just gave birth to her third son a few weeks ago? There is no question that feminism is alive, and it’s personified in Kristan Hawkins.

Kristan gave a convicting speech at the Students for Life conference, entitled Be the Revolution. Anyone familiar with Kristan knows that she actually believes — and constantly preaches — that her generation can end abortion. Sometimes it seems like she’s a little crazy… after all, there are still over three thousand reported abortions every day in America alone. But working closely with the young generation as the leader of the largest pro-life student organization in the world, Kristan has an insight into the abilities of this demographic that most people will never understand.

Kristan knows that the youth of today have untapped potential to make extraordinary changes in the culture, and the changes have begun (for example, the Students for Life conference has had to expand considerably every year since its inception because it simply can’t accommodate the droves of young people who want to attend).

Kristan’s Be the Revolution talk at the conference compared discrimination against black humans with discrimination against small humans who are not yet born. She cites the student influence that was required by the civil rights movement to ultimately achieve success, and affirms that it is this involvement of young people that will ultimately put an end to abortion in America once and for all.

Kristan provided three steps to achieving the goal of ending abortion in our lifetime:
