A group of teenagers from Kansas are standing up for what they believe in as the senior class of St. John's Catholic High School in Beloit, KS rallied together for a peaceful protest of abortion.

While some high school seniors seem to be concentrated on college plans or the senior prom, protest leader Katie Greenwood is focused on ending abortion.

Her goal was to get Catholic and Protestant schools nationwide to join them by peacefully protesting at abortion clinics in their areas.

"We have to journey over three hours to get to the closest abortion clinic, but each year, the entire high school packs up and makes this trek to stand up for the unborn as well as using this opportunity as a means of educating ourselves on the reality of abortion," Katie told liveactionnews.org.

Katie's senior class decided to spread this school mission to the nation and launch Catholic School Life Rally 2013.

The rally was held at the notorious clinic in Wichita where the assassinated physician, George Tiller performed many late-term abortions. Due to his murder the clinic is temporarily closed.

Temperatures were at about 12 degrees as the students assembled in objection, standing and praying. According to LiveNews.com about 10-20 pro-choicers met them, protesting the demonstration.

The public has varied reactions to a group of teenagers spending a school day on a field trip to an abortion clinic. Katie noted:

"We stand strong together, holding signs and praying as people drive by. We receive both extremely good, and extremely bad reactions every year (good: smiles, thumbs up, honk for life, waves... bad: yelling, rude gestures, including 'flipping the bird,' scowling faces), but we persevere through it all."

Katie says that the pro-choicers had diverse behavior in reaction to their disapproval of abortion.

"What was funny is that the pro-choice people were just staring at us, but as soon as I got pulled aside for the interview, they started up a ruckus so that I could not be heard."

One of the pro-life protesters was student, Kellan Niewald, who said:

"The reason why I am standing up against abortion is because it is killing a living child that can't even take its first breath. We as a school are trying to show the world that a big journey, like peacefully protesting against abortion, is a step towards making it illegal."

Congressman Tim Huelskamp stood in support of the young people. He addressed the crowd on the sanctity of life and the importance of the impact that the young people could make on their world as stated on lifenews.com.

Seeing what a single teenage girl's passion can accomplish will hopefully inspire a generation of people to do the same.
