In rural Sunbury, Ohio, the Young family exemplifies activism by living out their anti-abortion beliefs in various ways. This conservative Catholic family is dedicated to adoption, foster-parenting, and instilling in their children the sanctity of life. They also educate their children about political candidates who align with their beliefs.
Prior to the recent presidential election, the Young family gathered around a bonfire near their farmhouse for a 'Patriotic Rosary' with fellow church members. Holding rosaries, they prayed for the nation, its leaders, and specifically for Donald Trump as the 'pro-life candidate.' They also sang patriotic songs as part of their prayer session.
On Election Day, the Young children, Lucas, Gianna, and Isaac, accompanied their parents to the polling place. The children, wearing 'Future Ohio Voter' stickers and Trump baseball hats, watched their father vote for Trump. The family emphasizes the importance of voting for leaders who honor and protect life, especially given their personal experience with a child who was almost aborted.
Despite Trump's stance on abortion being a state issue, the Youngs remain committed to fighting against abortion laws in Ohio. They believe that even though the election has passed, their focus should now shift to state-level advocacy.
Looking ahead, the family plans to participate in the National March for Life in Washington on January 24, demonstrating their ongoing dedication to the pro-life cause.
