On Sunday afternoon, October 11, at 1:30 p.m., Right to Life of Southwest Indiana will host the annual Life Chain. Life Chain is a silent prayer vigil to protect life and oppose abortion. In this our 28th year of public witness on behalf of rejected PrebornChildren; Life Chain will again fill sidewalks in over 1,500 cities and towns in the U.S. and Canada. It is an opportunity for people to unite in prayer and to stand up for the rights of the unborn. They will stand in honor of the more than57 million children whose lives have been lost to abortion in our country since 1973. Every year young women report choosing life for their unborn children over abortion after reading the signs and seeing the people praying at the Life Chain.
Supporters will line Green River Road sidewalks beginning at the Lloyd Expressway and going south. The Life Chain supporters will gather at Brinker’s Jewelers parking lot at the corner of Green River and the Lloyd Expressway for free refreshments and to pick up signs. Free signs will be distributed beginning at 1:30 p.m. Supporters will line the street from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
According to Mary Ellen Van Dyke, Executive Director of Right to Life of Southwest Indiana, “Supporters of unborn babies and their moms will stand together respectfully and prayerfully to honor the sanctity of life. This year with all the attacks against the sanctity of human life, conscience and religious freedom and the federal funding for abortions in Obamacare, many prayers are needed.”
Supporters of Life will hold signs that say:
- ABORTION KILLS CHILDRENÂ
- JESUS FORGIVES AND HEALSÂ
- ADOPTION: THE LOVING OPTIONÂ
- LORD, FORGIVE US AND OUR NATIONÂ
- ABORTION HURTS WOMENÂ
- PRAY TO END ABORTIONÂ
- LIFE—THE FIRST INALIENABLE RIGHT
- DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
The Life Chain follows a strict Code of Conduct, is peaceful, and urges all family members, young and old, to attend. Everyone who believes in the protection of unborn children and their mothers is invited to participate. The event will be safe, peaceful and legal. You may bring chairs and strollers. All ages are welcome and the Life Chain will be held, come rain or shine.
Right to Life of Southwest Indiana with 50,000 supporters protects life.  We exist to protect the right to life of innocent human life from fertilization to natural death.
