Gen Z Leads The Pro Life Shift

from Straight Talk on Life Issues · host Life Issues Institute

Love the show? Text us your feedback! Two high school students, Josie Bushman and Clara Gates are doing what a lot of adults only talk about: building community, taking heat for it, and still showing up with calm conviction. This week Josie and Clara share how young pro-life leaders learn to speak about abortion without losing their humanity or their friends, even when the lunch table gets tense and the comments turn sharp. Get honest information about pushback, fear, and the awkward moments that come with taking a public stand.  What actually grows a pro-life club on a Catholic high school campus? Posters that spark curiosity, meetings that cover more than one life issue, and steady participation in events like the March for Life. They explain the reality of school limitations, why some students stay quiet even when they agree, and how simple visibility can “plant seeds” without turning every conversation into a debate. You will learn practical ways to build a pro-life club, navigate tough conversations, and use your own sphere of influence with courage and restraint. If you have ever wondered how to start a student club, find a trusted adult ally, or get involved locally when you feel alone, you will leave with a practical path.  We discuss about a wider shift many people are noticing in Gen Z: renewed interest in faith, youth groups, and traditional values, plus the role social media plays in making courage feel contagious. Finally, we address the most common pro-abortion arguments they hear day to day and what resources help students respond with clarity. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs courage, and leave a review with the moment that challenged you most.Support the show
