Changing Hearts and Minds within the Hispanic Community

LifeBeat

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, host Anna Pluymert, Right to Life of Michigan (RLM) Director of Education and Communications, sits down with Ricardo Hernandez. Ricardo is a leader of the youth program at the Basilica of St. Anne in Detroit where he works with primarily Hispanic young adults. These programs focus on faith and help young people understand the church·s teachings on purity and chastity and how to live out those virtues today. Outside of his work with youth programs, Ricardo has a podcast that focuses on the Saints and also advocates for victims of domestic violence. Right to Life of Michigan·s Multicultural Outreach team has been welcomed to speak to Ricardo·s youth groups. We were able to bring in special guest speakers who shared their abortion testimony. We also presented Fun Fetal Development Facts. During this special episode, Anna and Ricardo discussed how we can more effectively reach youth and young adults with a hopeful, life-affirming message. They also discussed what Ricardo believes to be the reason and solution to why abortion disproportionately impacts the Hispanic Community.
