On April 25, tens of thousands of young people will wear shirts with pro-life messages to schools and colleges across the country. The official T-shirt, which has already sold out, reads, "Help cure abortion. Abortion: leading cause of death in America. 1,200,000 a year." American Life League is hosting a comprehensive web site at www.NationalProLifeTshirtDay.com.
"American Life League's National Pro-life T-shirt Day is an excellent opportunity for the young and old alike to spread a strong pro-life message simply by the shirt they choose to wear," said Erik Whittington, American Life League's youth outreach director. "As we prepare for the fourth annual event next Tuesday, we are certain that this year's T-shirt day will reach people around the nation with a simple, direct message in support of innocent human beings."
The Thomas More Law Center is ready to assist any students who have their free speech rights suppressed by public school administrators who may not feel comfortable with the shirts. In years past, the center has been able to show that if public schools permit students to wear "message" clothing, they cannot exclude messages the administrators may not agree with.
"This is one of the most important days of the year for pro-life youth activists," said Whittington. "Pro-life T-shirts make people stop and think about what abortion really is � a gruesome act that takes the life of a preborn baby. We will never know how many children are alive today thanks to the message their parent saw on a pro-life shirt."
