If year 2007 was the year of “pro-life” movies, flawed Hollywood projects that nonetheless showed a main character choosing life, the year 2008 is the year of pro-life new media and youth movements.
Here are the amazing pro-life apostolates we have featured in the newspaper in the past few weeks:
VirtueMedia’s ads that they say have saved thousands of lives.
The moving story about blogger-priest Father James Farfaglia and his parish’s pro-life victories.
Different ways people are “Battling for Life Online.”
Eric Scheidler carrying the Scheidler family pro-life tradition into the 21st century.
“Manadatum” Catholic colleges’ March for Life plans.
The Princeton-originated Love and Fidelity Network.
The Daily Blog covered the work of the group Live Action Films.
Those are all from December. From November and October:
The Human Life Alliance, “Telling Truth to Youth” about abortion.
Feminists for Life rolling out college videos.
And last but certainly not least: The Other Youth Vote.
The good news: The list is far from exhaustive. Even now we have reporters working on stories about new such apostolates. Stay tuned to learn how to make use of their tools — and how to support them.

YOU PRO-ABORTS WILL FIND IT GRATIFYING.
THESE little ones had grandparents somewhere who WILL NEVER KNOW THEM. The sadness of that should overwhelm us all.
This shot was taken by a pro-life activist behind an abortuary. But those aren’t human babies. The One has told us so.
Well, with a Democrat entering the White House, it’s also past time to start developing a federal legislative strategy re. abortion. Sad that in many many years the only federal restriction on abortion legality (as opposed to just funding) pushed by Republicans has been on Partial Birth Abortion, while in the third trimester saline abortion can be easily substituted. A broad ban on third trimester abortions would be a real step forward.
Sad that we were probably just one Supreme Court nominee away from overturning Roe, and it’s all slipped away for now.
There isn’t any hope. Many human beings are created only to be brutally destroyed. Many don’t even make it out of the womb.
The human race has far more evil in it then there is good. Brutality and selfishness are the norm. Love and virtue are strange anomalies.
We had petitions at church tonight to sign to send to Congress to NOT pass FOCA — the Knights of Columbus were doing it!
