If you have driven down the busy streets of your city on the
first Sunday of October, chances are you have seen people holding signs that
read, “Abortion Kills Children” or “Adoption: The Loving Option.” They pray and
quietly stand for those lives lost to abortion.
In more than 1,500 communities, including several in the Diocese
of Arlington, people will come together for the 30th annual Life Chain Oct. 1.
Life Chain was started in 1997 by Please Let Me Live, a small
pro-life ministry based 45 miles north of Sacramento, Calif. The first Life
Chain drew more than 2,000 participants.
