October 18 will be the eighth annual Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity, when students worldwide will protest abortion.
Campaign president Bryan Kemper of Stand True ministries says that when the initiative first began, 300 campuses participated. But last year, more than 4,000 campuses in 28 countries took part in the day of prayer and solidarity. He says there is an explosion of pro-life support among young people who believe that life is precious.
"When I first got involved in the pro-life movement over 20 years ago, there [were] some young people and some different things going on," Kemper accounts. "But over the last 20 years, I've seen such an explosion of pro-life youth around the country."
To commemorate the movement, many students wear red armbands, and others place red duct tape across their mouths. Kemper believes the effort is making a difference.
"Last year, we heard back from 64 girls who canceled their abortions in one day. Sixty-four lives saved," he reports. "Sixt;y-four young women spared the agony that they might go through later in life…"
And he believes several others followed suit, but did not contact his organization to share about it.
