Nineteen Anglican Bishops to March for Life in Washington Nineteen Anglican bishops, including Archbishop Robert Duncan, are joining Anglicans for Life and hundreds of thousands of Christians to March for Life. On Wednesday, January 22, 2014, in Washington D.C., Anglicans Bishops will participate in the 41st March for Life. The following Saturday, January 25th, Bishop Eric Menees of the Diocese of San Joaquin will be joined by bishops and other Anglicans in San Francisco for the 9th Annual Walk for Life. The Anglican bishops in DC will start the day in prayer by attending an ecumenical prayer service at the National Memorial for the Preborn and their Mothers and Fathers, at Constitution Hall (1776 D Street, N.W., Washington D.C.). “I am honored to stand, along with my fellow bishops of the Anglican Church in North America, in recognition of the millions lost through abortion and to demonstrate our commitment to uphold the sanctity of life for all of God's children," said Archbishop Robert Duncan. “The Anglican Church in North America has a deep commitment to the sanctity of life,” said Bishop John Guernsey of the Anglican Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic. “Our hope is that the presence of so many of our bishops for the March for Life this year will help spur the Church to even greater support for the sacredness of human life.” According to Bp. Menees, “Often we buy into the media description of these events as Protest Rallies - I disagree. In Spanish this is called a manifestación - easily translated into English as “manifestation.” That is what this is – a manifestation of Jesus’ presence and love for the most vulnerable and fragile in our midst – pregnant mothers and the babies in their wombs. This is why the Anglican Bishops make this a priority in our schedule.” Click here for the rest of the article: http://babybluecafe.blogspot.com/2014/01/nineteen-anglican-bishops-to-march-for.html
If you give women access to family planning including abortion, they will have less abortions. Case in point: Canada has no abortion law at all, it is all medically regulated only. Free access to birth control. And a lower abortion rate than in the USA. A so called "march for life" is meaningless unless it addresses the underlying issues of equality and human rights in society. And also addresses homelessness. It has always intrigued an repelled me that attitudes against abortion correlate with attitudes in favour of capital punishment. As if post-birth abortion is approved by them. And they also don't bother with the homeless.
are you kidding? A march for life is meaningful because it is a march promoting protection of individuals' right to life from conception to natural death. A march for life promoting the special needs of the homeless makes no sense. I can't speak to Canada, but in the US most of the religious organizations that are at the forefront of the right to life fight are the most likely offer rescue outreach, soup kitchens and homeless shelters.
