In August of 1987, a new pro-life concept was born. Mr. Joseph Mortimer, a small business owner
from Feasterville, PA, founded Voices for the Unborn with the idea of not just
using the media, but being a media outlet for the pro-life movement. It started
out as a half-hour radio program, taped in the upstairs room of Joe's jewelry store. The show was broadcast throughout the Delaware
Valley on several different radio stations. The following August, Voices for the Unborn Newspaper came to be. It was circulated in the Philadelphia, PA
area, carrying local as well as national pro-life information. The paper soon went national (mailed to 40
States) and we even had some international subscriptions in eleven foreign
countries. In 1989, the first Voices for
the Unborn TV program was aired.
Mr. Mortimer passed in the summer of 2011; however his
legacy lives on in this new media outlet – blogging. We all know that social media is the way to
reach people today, especially the younger generation. My hopes are to have people blog here or
summit pro-life and pro-family articles for blogging to this site. I will then post them to several social media
sites to get the largest audience we can, and hope others will do the
same.
