Michele Hendrickson is the East
Coast Director of Students for Life .
She brings the unique experience of
being an elementary school teacher
to the pro-life movement. She is a
graduate of Hood College in Freder-
ick, MD who majored in Elementary
and Special Education. Working with children and
teaching for over 10 years has provided Michele
with amazing opportunities to partner with fami-
lies. After volunteering in the pro-life movement,
she felt a heavy burden for the families whose re-
lationships were destroyed by abortion. She is
dedicated to educating and empowering women to
understand the truth about abortion. Michele
helps student groups and regional coordinators
bring the pro-life message to their campuses and
beyond. She lives in Maryland with her husband

“If abor on is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. It is more than a singular or sepa‐rate wrong—it is the source of all wrong. To kill the small, the weak, the sick, the dependent, the defenseless violates all that our people’s faith and our na on’s history tells us is right. If we can choose between one human being’s right to life and another human being’s life style and give death to one and absolute power to the other, then how can we ever again claim to be what Lincoln called us: the
last, best hope of earth.”
Bob Morrison
"The pro‐life movement is not primarily a response to Roe vs Wade. It is a response
to Jesus Christ."
Fr. Frank Pavone

St. John’s Council 1622 112 East Second Street Frederick, MD 21701
"We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own
child, what is le but for us to kill each other."
"Abor on kills twice. It kills the body of the baby and it
kills the conscience of the mother.
Abor on is profoundly an ‐women. Three‐quarters of its vic ms are women: Half the babies and all the mothers."
~ Saint Mother Theresa of Calcu a ~
_______________________________
For the Conversion of Abor onists!
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in ba le, be our protec on
against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him
we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the
power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl
about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
_____________________________
