Today, society accepts and promotes personal happiness and freedom to do as one pleases. Abortion is generally accepted in today’s age, but according to the 2009 Gallop Poll more youth are growing up saying that abortion should be illegal! The upcoming generation of young people take an active stance in promoting a culture of life that denies the modern pop culture which promotes abortion. Last year, while the new Health Care Reform legislation was in the process of being passed, people of all ages attended numerous town hall meetings and spoke up against pro-abortion politicians and the Obama administration in order to reveal the abortion agenda being promoted through the Health Care bill. Today young people have stepped up to work to de-fund Planned Parenthood; we will not sit down while our money is spent to pay for abortions when ⅓ of our generation is missing in the name of choice.
In September 2010 the trending topic on Twitter was “Abortion Clinic Playlist Songs”. Millions of Twitter users posted statuses saying what song they would listen to while waiting to have an abortion. Some of the many songs that came up were Oops I did it Again by Britney Spears, Bye Bye Bye by Nsync, and many more heartless songs that mocked the issue of an abortion that damages those involved, and takes the life of an innocent child. Once again young people stepped up and through the power of social media they expressed why this trending topic was completely disrespectful of the the woman and child involved in an abortion decision, and this really opened up a conversation for people to express how they feel and to listen to others.
To date, we are governed by the most pro-abortion president this country has ever faced and it is time we boldly stand for life through media, social networking, and by the way we conduct our own lives on a daily basis. As a social media coordinator for a number pro-life organizations I see first hand that people love to talk about abortion whether they agree or disagree and others are heavily impacted by what is shared by their own friends.
Social networking has changed the face of the pro-life movement, in the past when pro-life stories and issues were not being addressed in the secular media it caused difficulty for the pro-life movement, but now with modern technology and the Internet, it is easier to spread the word and gain momentum for the pro-life message. Pro-life news is no longer being censored or suppressed by gate keepers. Millions of people connect online and participate in online conversations about abortion, and through this, many hearts are changed when faced with the truths about the effects of abortion on society.
Pope John Paul the II said, “A Nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.” When the supreme court decision of Roe v Wade was made, it jump-started the culture of death, today we must stand for the right to life in a public forum and take back the culture, to create a Culture of Life that is filled with hope.
Let’s network in cyberspace!
