In 2010, the Kaiser Family Foundation<\/a> released a study showing that 8- to 18-year-olds spend an average of 7.5 hours\u00a0every day<\/em> with media devices. These include cell phones (many of which have internet connection), TV, computers, and the like. It’s clear that the more life-affirming videos, commercials, and short clips that we can put out there, the more we will reach our youth.<\/p>\n

We need to find creative ways to proclaim our message. It’s doubtful that many young people would click on a video called “Fetal Heartbeat at 8 Weeks” (though a pregnant teen might). But what about a video called “Think Fast”? That doesn’t sound a bit pro-life, and yet you’ll see for yourself below that it’s one of the best pro-life short video tools out there right now.<\/p>\n

We also need to spread pro-life videos across social media. It’s great to post our clips and commercials on YouTube, but typically, unless we pay for a spot, someone’s going to have to be searching for something in our video to find it. The next time you see (or make) a great pro-life video, post it to Facebook – more than once! Message it around to your friends, and ask them to post it. Write a really cool status that will convince your friends to take a look. Tweet a link to the video with a compelling statement that will make people want to check it out. E-mail the video out to your contacts and encourage them to pass it on. Pro-life media’s no good unless we\u00a0share it actively<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, with those thoughts, I present to you five of the year’s best pro-life short videos. Watch and share away!<\/p>\n

1. Think Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just how sure are you of the truth? Do you really know what’s right or what you believe? When was the last time you considered common sense?<\/p>\n
