Life Chain to Oppose Abortion on Sunday

A Sedalia Area Life Cain will be held Sunday, Oct. 3, from 2 to 3 p.m., with hundreds of area pro-lifers predicted to form a line along Highway 50 near WalMart.

Life Chain participants in America and Canada, for the 34rd year, will line sidewalks in over 1,200 cities to oppose abortion.

“This stand of solidarity by Sedalia area pro-lifers will vividly proclaim abortion to be gravely wrong and will confirm, publicly, their steadfast opposition to the killing of preborn boys and girls, as well as the exploitation of their mothers by the abortion industry.

The National Life Chain is the largest peaceful, prayerful, pro-life public witness in the world. Over 13,000 chains have been built in North America, plus chains in several other countries. Life Chain welcomes everyone who deems human life sacred. The Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful witness against abortion and in support of God’s forgiveness.

The chain will form at the north end of the Wal-Mart parking lot and extend east. It will last from 2 to 3 p.m. Participants are asked to assemble by 1:30 for prayer and to receive instructions.

Abortion was legalized in the United States 48 years ago on January 22, 1973. Since then over 63 million babies have lost their lives to abortion in this country. For every four babies conceived, one is aborted.

Those not able to stand for an hour are welcome to bring a lawn chair. Signs will be provided,” a press release said.
