Homeschoolers for Life recently asked us to publicize their first annual Pro-Life Essay Contest. We’re glad to do so. I am especially pleased that one of the three topics that Senior Writers (ages 15-17) can choose to address deals with the connection between abortion and contraception:

Explore the connection between artificial contraception and abortion.
