On October 21st, the 10th Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity began in over 3,000 high school and college campuses. Students that were against abortion would tape their mouths shut for the entire span of the day as a silent protest, intending to make noise throughout the nation. A student named Kemper, an abortion activist from Arizona, created an organization that tracks the number of participating students on a website named silentday.org.
This is an important occurrence because it shows what others are willing to do to show their mindset upon the topic of abortion. Ones against abortion participating in this event say that they will try not to impede this side upon other people, making it a peaceful act. I see this as a plus because these people are willing to state what they're saying without saying a word, and not causing a disruptance. Usually, matters that disrupt or cause a commotion (such as protests or riots) are put down with force, but this is the total opposite. Anti-abortionists are creating a non-hostile environment to get their point across, and I think that this is something that would be good for all of us, no matter what side we are on.
