Let me be honest: sometimes I hesitate before hitting “post.” I write something about being pro-life, read it over a few times, then sit there thinking… is this even worth it?

Maybe you’ve felt that too. Maybe you’ve wondered what good it does to speak up online when it feels like everyone who disagrees ignores you, 😂 reacts to all your comments, fights you or calls you names. And maybe you’ve told yourself what I’ve told myself a dozen times: “This won’t change anyone’s mind anyway.”

But here’s what I’ve come to believe your voice, your courage, your compassion matter more than you know. Even when it feels invisible.

The truth is, your Facebook comment probably won’t change the mind of the person arguing with you. That’s not really the point. Most of the impact we have online doesn’t happen in the comments we can see. It happens in the ones we never hear from.

There’s a teenager out there, scrolling through her feed after Planned Parenthood gave a polished presentation at her school. She grew up christian and pro-life, but now she’s not sure what to believe anymore. Then she sees your post clear, kind, and defending the pro-life position. That might be the moment something shifts.

Or maybe it’s a young man who just found out his girlfriend is pregnant. He’s scared and confused, and he’s never really thought about abortion before. But now it’s not a far away political topic, it’s something that will have lasting consequences on his and his girlfriend’s lives. And maybe he sees you comment, he realizes there’s another way to think about this, one that isn’t rooted in fear.

We live in a culture that often paints pro-lifers as harsh, judgmental, and out of touch. So when you show up with compassion and clarity, you challenge that story.

You become the reason someone starts to question what they’ve been told. Maybe it’s your liberal niece who always assumed she knew where she stood, until a friend told her about the help she got from a pregnancy center. Suddenly, your quiet witness online means something different.

Sometimes, I think about the women quietly reading. The ones who are considering abortion. They’re not looking for a debate. They’re looking for hope. They’re scanning the internet for something, anything, that says, “You don’t have to do this alone.”

When we post about pregnancy centers, share resources, or speak with warmth instead of sarcasm, we might be that sign. We might be the voice that helps her take a deep breath and make a phone call to a supportive friend or pregnancy center, instead of clicking the order button on a shipment of abortion pills..

If you’ve ever felt like the only pro-life person on your feed, I promise you’re not. It just feels that way because so many others are staying quiet, wondering the same thing you are is it worth it?

Yes. It is.

Because every time you speak up, you make it a little easier for the next person to speak too. And together, those voices can shift the whole atmosphere.

So keep posting. Keep sharing. Keep speaking with love and conviction. You don’t need to go viral to make a difference. You just need to be faithful.

Most people won’t comment or react or send you a message. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t listening. It doesn’t mean they aren’t being moved. And it definitely doesn’t mean your words don’t matter.

They do.

More than you know.

You don’t need a huge platform to make a difference. The way social media works, every like, comment, and share helps more people see a post. It tells the algorithm, “Hey, this matters.”

So even if you’re not ready to write your own post yet, here’s what you can do:

• Like a post that speaks truth with love
• Comment, even something simple like “Thank you for sharing this”
• Share a post or video that offers hope, facts, or real-life support

It may feel small, but those little actions help pro-life voices rise above the noise. You never know who might see it because you helped it reach a little farther.

Your clicks count. Your presence matters. Keep showing up.
