Chicago Pro-Life Flash Mob

An email sent to Fr. Z
CHICAGO – A pro-abortion “Walk for Choice” rally was held in
downtown Chicago’s Daley Plaza on Saturday, February 26, 2011.
Participants of the “Walk for Choice” were protesting HR Bill 3
which limits taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.

As a response to the “Walk for Choice,” anonymous teens and young adults organized a “Pro-Life Flash Mob” over the span of a few
days. The goal of the event was not to counter-protest, but to give a
positive message of joy and life to Chicago.

The youth assembled inconspicuously around the plaza before the rally
hiding their giant yellow balloons in black trash bags. When the
“Walk for Choice” had assembled, the youth prompted by music
coming from a backpack sound system then proceeded to unveil the helium balloons imprinted with the word “LIFE.


These exclusive videos shows the “Pro-Life Flash Mob” taking the
“pro-choicers” by surprise with Life, Spirit, and Truth!
As participants of the “Walk for Choice” were asked to wear orange for
the event, so the Pro-Life flash mob jovially asks in their sign:
“ORANGE YOU GLAD TO SEE US???”

Which side has more joy?
FANTASTIC! CHEWEY!!!

I'd like to see these kinds of marches happen in Wisconsin Ben. I saw some small bands in March for Life this year. I think we need to see more of this joyfulness and celebration. UW student section-like energy + pro-life hearts.

These guys are from St. John Cantius! Gotta love their enthusiasm, contagious joy and smiling faces! My cousins are the ones leading the pro-life cheers. :)
