Bump+
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court gave women a choice. Thirty-seven years later, we’re giving them a voice. BUMP+ is a provocative web series from Yellow Line Studio that follows the fictional stories of three women facing unintended pregnancies.
If you haven’t heard, a new online program by Yellow Line, entitled “Bump+” has those on both sides of the abortion argument debating opposing viewpoints. Not surprising. What is surprising, is that they seem to be debating those within their own camp.
Fr. Frank Pavone, director of Priests for Life, recently commented on the show in an interview with Tim Drake, over at the National Catholic Register.
“Bump+” is a great service to the pro-life movement. “Bump+’s” target audience is not the pro-life community. It is trying to reach the vast number of citizens whose attitude toward abortion can best be described as conflicted. “Bump+” is not a forum for an abortion debate. The point here is to help viewers hear and feel both sides of the issue through stories. This is simply a conversation, not a condoning of abortion. We need to bring people through the conversation through stories. Jesus was a storyteller. You tell a story and let people connect with that. We do this through our Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
Laura Ingraham, however, tends to disagree.
For people to root on women to have an abortion online is moving the ball forward? Remember, you’re tying make abortion entertaining on your little faux web bogus little event here on the internet. It’s an immature, petty, Sophomoric, and unserious approach to what is a cataclysmic issue for our culture. We’ve got 46 million people who can’t participate in the “Bump+” reality show because they’re not here today.
The show “airs” every Monday and Thursday through March 15th.
