Right to Life Of SW IN Held Prayer Vigil

    Right to Life of Southwest Indiana (RTLSWIN) held a prayer vigil yesterdayat the Four Freedoms Monument in Evansville.

The pro-life event is in response to the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which is currently being challenged if the state has the right to prohibit abortions performed pre-viability. The Mississippi law called the “Gestational Age Act”, protects babies after 15- weeks gestation; and, after the heart has been beating over two months.

“Science has progressed so much in determining the viability of pre-born children, that wisdom should certainly say that laws pertaining to such should be revisited and updated,” said Mary Ellen Van Dyke, executive director for Right to Life of Southwest Indiana. “Of course, we always hope and pray that lawmakers come to the truth that life starts at conception.”

The prayer vigil with prayer guided by both Catholic and Protestant leaders.
