A Tragic Loss for the Pro-Life World

For you who do not know already, here is what happened:

Students for Life Leader, Unborn Baby Die in Tragic Accident
by Steven Ertelt Washington, DC LifeNews.com

National Students for Life of America, the national organization for pro-life college and university students, has suffered a terrible loss, as one of its staffers and her unborn baby perish and another staffer was injured in a fatal automobile accident Saturday night.

Around 8:00 p.m. local time, SFLA field director Kortney Blythe Gordon was driving back from the Students for Life of America Georgia conference when her vehicle was struck by another head on in a massive collision. The driver of the other vehicle was reportedly speeding and passing cars on a two-lane road. Gordon and her unborn child, Sophy, were immediately killed upon impact and another SFLA staff member, Jon Scharfenberger, is in critical condition following the accident.

In addition, two local students, whose names were not released to LifeNews, were injured in the accident as well, and were in the vehicle with the two Students for Life staffers when they were struck by the oncoming car. They are injured but the injuries are not life-threatening.


We must pray a lot for the family of Kortney, she was a young, married women, so of course thats a great loss for her husband and her family. Also, the young man, Jon, who is critically injured. I and probably Fran know him personally, he graduated from Ave Maria last year, while he was there, he was very active in the pro-life group, a very vibrant great person and he is still in critical conditions.

This makes death such a reality, we must live every day as our last and always give Glory to God in whatever we do.
