Education: Our society is growing more and more atheistic and amoral. Catholic hospitals are being pressured to not only provide employees with insurance covering contraception and abortion, but also to provide abortion themselves. Marriage is being re-defined to include same-sex relationships. Although our nation was founded on the basis of religious freedom, businesses, non-profits and even churches are being told they must

adhere to society’s standards rather than their deeply held religious beliefs. While abortions have declined and more Americans are becoming pro-life, those who support abortion are fighting hard to maintain abortion as a right to be protected. Millions of women have been pressured and coerced to abort rather than being given the real help they needed to have their babies.
Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public statement against abortion. Every October, participants stand along a busy highway with signs that proclaim “Abortion Kills Children”, “Abortion Hurts Women”, “Jesus Forgives and Heals”, ”The Pill & IUD Also Kill Children”, “Pregnant? Need Help? 1-800-712- HELP” and a few other messages. These messages are not voiced in the mainstream media, so Christians act as the light of Christ to proclaim them to the community on the highway. We will never know how many abortions may be prevented by this simple reminder of the truth. Most participants find the experience rewarding and spiritually uplifting. Local locations in Fort Bend County include Hwy 90A in Rosenberg, Hwy 6 in Sugar Land, and Beltway 8 near Airport. See Christian Voices for Life web site,
Life Chain page, for more information.

Prayer: Dear Father God, please call many of your children to join in shining the light of truth in their communities by participating in Life Chain. Bless the efforts of those who are promoting these events, and keep safe all who attend. Please lead our neighbors who are contemplating abortion to drive past the signs that day, and open the hearts of all those who pass by to receive the word of truth. Let the witness of your followers inspire many others to do more to promote greater respect for life in our community.
