Christians Declare Solidarity with Unborn at March for Life
Tens of thousands of members of the pro-life community descend upon Washington D.C. for the March for Life Thursday. Centered on this year’s theme “Every Life is a Gift,” participants mark the 42nd year of unrestricted legalized abortion in the United States.
IRD President Mark Tooley commented:
“God bless those Christian leaders like the Catholic bishops and Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, among many others, who March today in defense of innocent human life and in sync with universal Christian teaching. Any church that cannot defend the unborn and other vulnerable persons has forgotten the core of the Gospel.
“In an annual tradition, IRD is hosting today a dozen Anglican bishops, with whom IRD staff are honored to march for life. The pro-life cause is the civil rights cause of our day. It is an honor to serve our Lord at this supreme moment in history to affirm the sacredness of all human life in a society whose cultural elites remain tragically obtuse about dehumanization.
“Today’s march for life will be recalled for all eternity as solidarity with the nearly 60 million destroyed unborn Americans and with countless future generations whom we pray will live and thrive in a time when all human life is protected.”
The Institute on Religion & Democracy works to reaffirm the church’s biblical and historical teachings, strengthen and reform its role in public life, protect religious freedom, and renew democracy at home and abroad.
