October is Respect Life Month—a month to focus on respect for the vulnerable, for the elderly, and for those with disabilities. It’s a month to show the world that all human beings matter and are loved. And it’s a month to increase awareness about threats to human dignity and life.
Showing respect for all human beings is something we can easily do, especially on social media. So we have a challenge for you. We want you to post a positive pro-life article or meme every day of Respect Life Month. Fill your social media feed with love.
To make it easy, we have gathered 31 inspirational articles and memes that you can easily share—one each day. Simply copy and paste each to your social media feed. Show your friends, acquaintances, and family that all human beings matter and are valuable and that while Respect Life Month is celebrated only during October, you respect life throughout the year.
