Ohio’s Sunbury (AP) Activism starts at home for the Young family in rural Sunbury, Ohio.
By adopting, foster-parenting, and teaching their children to value life, the conservative Catholic family chooses to live out their anti-abortion convictions. Additionally, they are dedicated to educating their kids about political figures who share their values.
Erin and Mike Young gathered their kids, Lucas, 8, Gianna, 7, and Isaac, 5, around a bonfire close to their farmhouse the night before this year’s presidential election to offer prayers for Donald Trump, the pro-life candidate.
For the Patriotic Rosary, they were joined by a small group from their church.
They prayed for the country and its leaders while holding rosaries. They offered up prayers for Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. For every state and every soul residing there, they said the Hail Mary prayer.
They sung the Star-Spangled Banner and the Battle Hymn of the Republic as the flames went out.
The three kids applied Future Ohio Voter stickers on Election Day the next afternoon. Both Lucas and Isaac had on their Trump baseball caps. To get to the polling station, they crammed themselves into their father’s pickup. Mom had cast her ballot earlier. As kids watched dad cast his ballot for Trump, they squeezed their faces together around the voting booth.
Erin, who homeschools the children, stated that it is crucial to teach our children the value of voting for leaders that respect and defend life. She says that when the child’s biological mother took unsuccessful abortion drugs, she and her husband were informed that one of their children was born.
They are aware of and comprehend the reasons behind our Trump vote. A little over a week after the election, she stated, “They know that he’s the most pro-life president.” now that we have won the election. We still have to pay attention to what’s happening in Ohio. because the states now have more authority. We still need to pray and continue to oppose the state’s abortion restrictions.
A constitutional amendment that guaranteed access to abortion was approved by Ohio voters a year ago. Trump has stated time and time again that states should make the decision, claiming credit for his Supreme Court nominees who assisted in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Despite Trump’s ambivalent views on abortion, the Youngs said they are not concerned about his choice to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an advocate for abortion rights, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. According to Mike, abortion is now a state matter rather than a federal one.
On January 24, the family will go to Washington to attend the National March for Life.
