A few months into the job search, I didn\u2019t have much on the table except a bunch of places I either applied to or inquired about. I understood the concept of \u201cIt doesn\u2019t hurt to ask,\u201d so on a whim \u2013 and without knowing at the time that Live Action was promoting its summer internship program \u2013 I applied online.<\/p>\n<p>Skip ahead a few months to June, and I\u2019m in D.C. working for Live Action as the social media intern. To say that I got the internship out of pure luck is an understatement; it was truly a blessing. Some companies only have limited opportunities for its interns. Live Action isn\u2019t one of those places. Working for the pro-life nonprofit gave me the opportunity to grow in my understanding of social media and news writing, while expanding on my efforts to end abortion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd1\"><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_by_250_top_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0\" class=\"ArticleAd1a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179053567-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of my most memorable moments interning for\u00a0Live Action was getting the opportunity to take photos outside the Supreme Court of the United States during the court decision of\u00a0<em><a href=\"\/news\/breaking-u-s-supreme-court-texas\/\">Whole Women&#8217;s Health v. Hellerstedt<\/a><\/em>. Demonstrators freely expressed their First Amendment rights on the issue of abortion as pro-lifers and pro-choicers awaited the Court&#8217;s decision on whether or not abortion facilities in Texas would have to be up to par on the same health and safety regulations surgical centers adhere to.<\/p>\n<p>Although our nation&#8217;s highest court ruled in favor of the abortion industry, I was able to capture moments of strength, hope and courage the pro-life movement had on this important decision. My experience outside the Supreme Court that summer day reinforced my pro-life beliefs and why I&#8217;m in it to win it, to abolish abortion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128664 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n-1-525x700.jpg\" alt=\"13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n-1-525x700.jpg 525w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/13423718_639737072849188_7759722848780769564_n-1-500x667.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Besides the amazing opportunities to effectively make a difference in the fight for life, the people at Live Action are genuinely fun to work with.
