Why Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity?
Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity begun in 2004 as a voice against abortion by doing the opposite – by giving up voice for the day.
Abortion is the removal of a fetus or embryo intentionally using pills or any other medical practice. With laws supporting abortion up to six weeks and in some cases 13 weeks, the US has witnessed over 4,000 abortions every day. This number seems to be only rising day by day with the current laws and people’s ignorance says Pro-Life founder Bryan Kemper.
He believes that the fetus is living right from its first heartbeat and strongly stands by the biblical commandment of “thou shalt not kill”.
Our generation seems to be more pro-choice. But we are failing to understand that being pro-choice about unnecessary abortions is denying choice of life for the baby in the womb.
Bryan got the idea for Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity when he was brainstorming with a student who asked how they could involve and work with students to be pro-life and stop abortions.
On this day every year, Bryan meets students in high schools, and colleges to spread awareness about the rise in abortions and how although we are legalizing it, it is still against God’s commandment.
Bryan also believes that the only way people can be pro-life is by having Jesus in their hearts as only God can truly change the hearts of people.
Thus on Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity students across the US are seen wearing red tapes on their mouths or armbands with life written on it and vowing to silence to represent the thousands of voices we lose every day due to abortions.
Although debates are still going between pro-choice and pro-life, your conscience is key here.
Students are tomorrow’s citizens, who can make or break a nation.
Raising awareness among students and helping them to be pro-life seekers is a great way to prevent the rising abortion cases.
If for one day your unheard voice could make the world silent, imagine the silence caused by the lives lost to abortion and the silence of people who fail to stand up against this practice.
Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity shouldn’t just be observed on the third Tuesday in October but every day!
