Not just any Memorial Day



Besides the Int'l Life Chain, which took place on Oct. 2 this year, another annual event was held to stand up for and remember the millions of lives that have been deliberately taken through abortion. Oct. 3 was Pro-Life Memorial Day, wherein young people turned up outside the US Supreme Court for a night of singing, scripture-reading and prayer (more photos here).

Pro-Life Memorial Day, organized by Rock for Life (the youth arm of the American Life League), shall be celebrated every first Monday of October. Why? The Supreme Court always opens its session on this day; thus, it's an appropriate day to recall the victims of Roe vs. Wade (46 million lost to surgical abortion since the court's 1973 ruling).

The 2006 Pro-Life Memorial Day will be on Oct. 2.
