In the 36 years that have elapsed since the Roe v. Wade decision that decriminalized abortion, an entirely new generation has come to maturity, and so has an entirely new way of communicating.

To reach the former, we must use the latter. American Life League is doing just that. ALL is now on Internet radio stations such as NPLR.net, and both FM and AM stations across America with On the Edge, hosted by Eric Martin, co-hosted by his fellow ALL staffers Michael Hichborn and Katie Walker, and engineered by Dwain Currier.

OTE is true to its name, delivering a weekly one-hour broadcast with the latest pro-life news, politics, commentary, inspiration and discussion of ALL’s projects and initiatives.

As part of that next generation, Martin (38), Hichborn (34) and Walker (22) know that being edgy and reaching out beyond a primarily religious base is the direction the pro-life movement must take if they are to counteract the language used in mainstream media to marginalize the horrors of abortion.

On recent shows, OTE featured segments on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that spending $335 million to reduce the number of children would stimulate the economy, guest appearances by pro-life leaders and grassroots activists, state personhood initiatives, the pope’s trip to South America, FOCA, PFA, Obama’s honorary degree from Notre Dame and a celebrity endorsement of the BabySteps DVD.

The mixed-bag news approach appeals to both the “older” generations of the pro-life movement and the “younger” ones who are angry that one-third of their generation has been killed by abortion. It’s an edgy place to be, and that’s where ALL is meeting listeners: On the Edge.
