TORONTO, September 21, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On Sunday October 3rd, hundreds of thousands of Americans and Canadians will take part in the 17th annual Life Chain witness for life. At numerous major intersections in cities and smaller communities, all participants will hold up one of several signs, each with a brief slogan related to abortion, in order to raise awareness of the issue in their respective communities. All participants are encouraged to pray while holding their signs. Life Chain involves only one hour of participants’ time, from 2 to 3 p.m. on Sunday. The event often produces a positive result in communities exposed to the signs and in the participants who accept the opportunity to make this one-hour, prayerful and simple witness to the sacredness of human life.
Many babies have been known to have been saved as a result of mothers seeing the messages repeated from one sign to another as they have driven by Life Chains.
