In June, while studying in northern Italy, I saw something that brought tears to my eyes. My group had traveled to Burano, a lagoon island near Venice that is famous for its lace. Walking through the narrow streets and over canal bridges, I saw a courtyard named “September 11, 2001”.

Conservatives, especially pro-life conservatives, are often viewed by the media, and perhaps the general public, as hard-nosed, insensitive, and downright cold. Many people think that all pro-lifers are concerned about is a “blob of tissue,” and don’t even look at the troubled girl or woman right in front of them.
But the reason we—especially we female pro-lifers—are against abortion is not just because of the consequences to the child in the womb, but also the consequences the young woman will have to face afterward.

They say that no man is an island. For that matter, in this day and age, no country is an island either. Globalization tends to divide conservatives and liberals from one another. As a political conservative myself, I used to think that any degree of globalization had to mean giving up our national sovereignty or of bowing to the United Nations or another international governmental organization. But I have learned that globalization, or at least a strong global awareness, can be much simpler, much more beneficial to everyone than the extreme picture I previously had in my mind.
