Students in 3,000 schools across 25 countries will participate in the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity today to protest against the killing of innocent children by refusing to speak, a pro-life group reports.
In addition to remaining silent, students will wear red armbands or place red duct tape on their mouths and distribute educational flyers. Many homeschoolers will participate by visiting local malls and other public areas to distribute flyers.
Student participants are instructed to be respectful towards teachers and other officials and to speak with them when required.
Stand True, Christ-Centered Pro-life, the Ohio-based organizer of the worldwide event, says that last year participants reported about 59 girls canceled their appointments for abortions because of the students’ efforts.
