MTV Gets Protested

by David Aragon

Generation Life, an anti-abortion protest group, is rallying in Times Square today to protest MTV’s (apparently) pro-abortion tendencies. Here’s a snipped from a flyer they plan on distributing:

Young ladies, what kind of standard is MTV setting for you? Many of their shows encourage the falsehood that women are defined by their appearance, and that their worth is grounded in an ability to seduce. But what if beauty has nothing to do with sex?

Then they zero in on their abortion claims:

The network also provides girls of any age with free information about abortion, emergency contraception, and STD’s. Their website is covered with links to Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest supplier for the killing of human persons through abortion. It seems rather strange for a music network to offer such information, unless that network is attempting to compensate for peddling sex to teenagers.

A music network? I don’t think anyone’s under the impression that MTV still plays music… In any case, if you want to check out the protest for yourself, find the details after the jump.

When: Friday, July 27th 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Prayer Walk

11:00 AM - 2:00 PM MTV Protest

Where: New York City / MTV Studios in Times Square

Who: Stand True, Generation Life, CEC for Life and anyone who would like to join us.

What: Stand True will be in New York City for our annual Abortion Mill Prayer Walk and MTV Protest. We will be meeting between 7:45 AM and 8:00 AM in New York City on the NW corner of 34th and Broadway [map].

We will be conducting a prayer walk through the city with stops at several abortion mills and abortion doctors’ offices. This is not a fanatical screaming protest, but a peaceful prayerful outreach to the city.

We will finish the prayer walk with a protest of MTV studios in Times Square at 11:00 AM. Here is the flyer [pdf] we will be distributing at MTV.

You can reach us on Friday at 540-538-2581
