The purpose of Life Chain is to provide a vibrant, visual sign of the vast opposition to the violent destruction of the innocent, human life in the womb by legal protection.
In Canton each year, for example, almost 7,000 little girls and boys are killed legally, almost as many as are permitted to be born.
The Body of Christ has never stood silently in the face of such wanton destruction of Godâs children, yet many Christians have. We stand as witnesses to Godâs love and truth in regard to Americaâs 30 year war on the Unborn.
Now is the time to stand for the truth - that God is the Author of all human lifeâand that no one ever has the authority to usurp Godâs rights over itâand that He forgives the sin of abortion through Jesusâ saving death and resurrection -
History of Life Chain
LifeChain was begun in California in 1987 by Please Let Me Live, a pro-life group. It has since spread to the entire U.S., with hundreds of communities now involved. Some of the largest have been in St. Louis (18,000), and Cincinnati (20,000). Sunday, October 5, 2008 will be the next LifeChain Sunday. Mark it on your calendars and make arrangements for you and others in your church to participate.
