This year American Life League has extended its annual Pro-Life T-Shirt Day to last for an entire week. It officially started this Tuesday and is to last until next Monday, May 4.

As trivial as it seems – I mean, it’s just a t-shirt, right?? – this really is a great opportunity to be a witness for the cause of life. Chances are life issues are not a big topic of conversation with friends when you’re out having drinks, walking together in between classes or doing anything together, really. But if you’re wearing a shirt with a pro-life message it just might provoke a much needed conversation. In another way, there is also a chance that it might be seen in passing by a woman with a crisis pregnancy who just needs to be reassured that what she is dealing with is in fact a “child, not a choice.”

If you have the resources, I highly encourage participation in this pro-life witness, and not just during this week, but anytime! T-shirts can be ordered online at the ALL store and other pro-life stores. Cafe Press has a lot. You can even make your own. I did it a few times for a group of ours by printing a nice pro-life picture/message onto some iron-on transfer paper and putting it on some plain white t-shirts.
