“Pro-Life Bridges Day” To Be Held On June 22, 2018

Evansville is one of 50 cities taking part in National Pro-Life Bridges Day with banners declaring “Abortion Takes a Human Life.”

On Friday, June 22, pro-life volunteers will hold two large banners on the Lynch Road bridge over Interstate 69, reaching commuters in both directions of traffic with the message that “Abortion takes a human life.”  The group will hold their banners on the overpass from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. as part of National Pro-Life Bridges Day, taking place in 50 cities throughout the United States.

“We want to get people throughout the Evansville area thinking and talking about abortion, a topic that they too often try to avoid,” explained Ann Schulz, President of Right to Life of Southwest Indiana, who is organizing the banner display in Evansville on June 22.  “Abortion takes the lives of 2,500 unborn children every single day in our country.  And it’s legal.  That’s a difficult reality to face – but one we just can’t keep ignoring.”

This nationwide day of public outreach is being coordinated by the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League.  Evansville is one of 50 locations where National Pro-Life Bridges Day is being held.  Other cities include Tampa, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; St. Paul, Minnesota; San Antonio, Texas; Fresno, California; Memphis, Tennessee; and metropolitan Chicago.  In all, hundreds of thousands of highway commuters will be reached with the message that “Abortion takes a human life.”
