You won’t be surprised to hear that the media is not typically pro-life.
However, 40 days for Life campaigns are getting excellent media coverage at the local level. The media typically thinks the vigils are there to intimidate or harass, but when they go out to the vigil they see the truth — in the form of peaceful, prayerful volunteers.
The joy of our volunteers and leaders stands in stark contrast to Planned Parenthood employees, who won’t usually appear on camera, choosing instead to offer cold prepared statements.
The UNITED bus tour has been the focus of increasing — and increasingly positive — local media coverage. And Christian media has been welcoming, as always in reports such as an excellent feature article that appeared in the National Catholic Register.
