"Life Chain" Slated for Oct. 6

Prolife supporters across the country will gather at designated locations on Sunday, October 6 at 2 p.m. for the 2013 National Life Chain. This peaceful movement, in which participants quietly stand, holding signs and praying, is to raise awareness about abortion, which has been legal in the U.S. since 1973 and has resulted in more than 55,000,000 deaths.

Livingston County supporters are asked to gather at one of the following high-traffic locations: in Brighton at Grand River and Main Street or in front of Planned Parenthood; in Fowlerville at Grand River and Grand; in Howell on Grand River at the courthouse; or in Pinckney at the Town Square.

For more information, call Right to Life of Livingston County at (810)227-5788.

Honoring Victims of Abortion

Pro-life Americans are being called upon to attend the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children on Saturday, September 14, 2013, at gravesites around the country. Sponsored by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life, and the Pro-Life Action League, this date was chosen because it is the 25^th anniversary of the burial of hundreds of aborted children in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

As even abortion activists are beginning to acknowledge, victims of abortion are human beings. It doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to know that if a fetus (“little one” in Latin) is not aborted, after about 270 days in the womb, a human being, just like you and me, will emerge and one day walk this earth. Therefore, because these unborn victims are human -- until this sick country gets back on track (if it ever does) and stops allowing the murder of these innocents -- these poor children at least deserve recognition of their humanity and the right to a proper burial, rather than being thrown into a dumpster behind some seedy clinic.

Please join us at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, located at 9565 Musch Road in Brighton, on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 1 p.m. for the hour-long solemn prayer vigil to honor these victims. For more information or other locations, visit http://www.abortionmemorials.com/
