If you were born after 1973, about 30% of your friends, neighbors, and relatives are missing



Culture of life goes Prime Time

It’s time for a commercial break on MTV and a bright yellow school bus suddenly flashes across the screen. A group of youngsters hurtle off the bus while a voice in the background says: “If you were born after 1973, about 30 percent of your friends, neighbors, and relatives are missing.”

The figures of two of the children start to fade, then slowly disappear.

The next scene shows a group of high school athletes taking off down a running track. “Since the Supreme Court approved legal abortions 30 years ago,” the voice continues, “nearly one of every three babies were aborted.” Two of the athletes vanish from the screen.

“That means 43 million U.S. children, teens, and young adults are missing,” the voice continues.

A young groom stands on the altar while the figure of his beautiful bride turns pale and ghostly, then disappears.

The message is plain but powerful, and is just one example of the kind of savvy, pro-life advertising that may soon be seen by Philadelphia teens — thanks to one of their own.

Those promoting the culture of death won't like these spots...
