Feature: What to do if harassed for wearing your pro-life t-shirt If you are a student at a public school, you have a right to wear a pro-life shirt to school, hand out literature before and after school and classes (not during) and state your opinion when appropriate.  Our experience is that most young people who wear a pro-life shirt to school during National Pro-life T-shirt Week do not have any problems. Occasionally a misguided school official may ask you to remove the shirt, turn it inside out, go home and change, put a shirt or sweater over the top of it, etc., etc. This may be a violation of your Constitutionally protected free-speech rights. Erik, Jeff and Kortney discuss your rights and what to do if harassed by a public school administrator for wearing your pro-life t-shirt.

Feature: Conceived In Rape, Alive To Share Her Story  We've all heard someone say: "I'm pro-life, well, except in cases of rape . . ." or "I'm pro-choice, especially in cases of rape!"  Have you ever considered how really insulting it is to say to someone, "I think your  mother should have been able to abort you"?  It's like saying, "If I had my way, you'd be dead right now."  And that is the reality with which Rebecca Kiessling lives every time someone says they are pro-life "except in cases of rape" because she absolutely would have been aborted if it had been legal in Michigan when she was a preborn child. Rebecca is a product of rape, an International Pro-Life Speaker and an Attorney, and she’s in the studio to share her story.
