As I traversed the congested corridor at the National Right to Life Convention at the Hyatt Regency at the Pittsburgh Airport, I was suddenly struck by the realization that this esteemed pro-life event evoked a particular memory.
A family gathering. This is to be a veritable family reunion, replete with joyful reunions and celebratory encounters.
A toddler who took her flag-waving seriously was endearing, as were the grandmothers who were gathering educational materials to share with the young ones in their lives. From the exhibit table to the meeting room, I observed a profound sense of affection and enthusiasm for life.
Indeed, when questioned by a reporter, I advised the journalist to observe the diversity of the pro-life movement. A recent college graduate may be found here, while a devoted mother of four may be found there. However, all of them exhibited a common trait: a generosity of spirit that is highly appealing.
Each National Right to Life Convention is distinguished by its own distinctive character and atmosphere. It is possible that the convention was imbued with a familial atmosphere due to the fact that it was held in the Commonwealth, the country of my birth.
As this is being written, the convention is not yet halfway through. However, it has already left a profound impression on me, one that I believe will persist long after the exhibit tables have been dismantled and the suitcases have been repacked.
Upon attending a National Right to Life Convention, it is probable that one will discern that they are aligned with a state of positive emotional well-being. Furthermore, this positive atmosphere is infectious.
Daniel Miller is responsible for nearly all of National Right to Life News' political writing.
With the election of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, Daniel Miller developed a deep obsession with U.S. politics that has never let go of the political scientist. Whether it's the election of Joe Biden, the midterm elections in Congress, the abortion rights debate in the Supreme Court or the mudslinging in the primaries - Daniel Miller is happy to stay up late for you.
Daniel was born and raised in New York. After living in China, working for a news agency and another stint at a major news network, he now lives in Arizona with his two daughters.
