Good Friday prayer vigils to be held at abortion facilities nationwide
The Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League will be holding its ninth annual Way of the Cross for Victims of Abortion this coming Friday, April 14, 2017, at multiple locations across the country. Click here to find your state’s locations.
The event, writes The Stream, is “an opportunity to pray for mothers and their babies, but also to become actively involved in the pro-life movement in a nonconfrontational way.” Meeting women who are considering abortion is one of the main aims of the prayer vigil, but making an impact on the surrounding community is also part of the mission.
Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, told The Stream, ““People will be reminded of abortion. They’ll realize there’s something wrong in their community. We hope and pray these events will save children’s lives.”
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
Scheidler expects 5,000 to 10,000 people to participate in the event this year, which grows annually. Last year, prayer vigils were held at 80 abortion facilities.
