SALZBURG, Austria, August 1, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Last week hundreds of Austrian pro-lifers held the first annual "1000 Crosses Funeral March" for the unborn.
March participants met at the Cathedral Square in Salzburg where they were given a large white cross before setting out to begin their peaceful procession through the city. When march participants reached the city's State Bridge, dozens of roses were thrown into the river in memory of lives lost to abortion in Austria. At the end of the march, participants joined together to celebrate a special 'Mass of Atonement' for those who promote the scourge of abortion.
This pro-life march follows several accounts of aggressive intimidation tactics earlier this year in Vienna by hired 'escorts' who are employed by abortion mills to keep pro-lifers from influencing their clientele - by whatever means necessary.
On numerous occasions, video cameras outside of Vienna abortion mills have captured instances of verbal, sexual and psychological abuse on the part of these hired antagonists, without any legal repercussions or police interference. Moreover, the Austrian Parliament is considering legislation to ban all pro-life activists from the public property outside abortion clinics, even if they are only praying silently.
