Here's some more information about the Day of Silent Solidarity which I've copied and pasted from an email that I received from Stand True this week in the form of FAQs:
What if my school, teacher or administrator says no?
If they tell you that you cannot participate in the Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity you need to contact our lawyers who will help you fight for your rights. Their contact information can be found on the web site under the legal help section. www.silentday.org
What if some one wants to talk to me about abortion or has a serious question?
While we are taking a vow of silence for the day we do not want to be legalistic about this. Last year many kids broke their silence to talk to girls who were considering abortion. We know of at least 16 of these high school girls who then cancelled abortion appointments and decided to keep their babies. Use your best judgment and speak if you need to. Some people may be just trying to harass you, while others may seriously need to talk to someone.
What do I pass out to people who want to talk to me.
The flyer is available for free download on the web site. You may use other pro-life literature along with the flyer, but the flyer is important to explain what you are doing. If you cannot afford to make copies of the flyer we can help by printing some for you.
Does passing notes, e-mail, im and texting count?
While this is up to you it would be great for you give all of this up to be in solidarity for those who will never be able to do these things. One day is nothing compared to what happens to them. Notes can be useful in some situation like ordering food and such, but should be used at a minimum.
- How can I help promote this event?
