26,000 in Huge Pro-Life Relay

Over 26,000 pro-lifers participated in this year’s 5,124-mile A-Cross America relay to inspire parents to choose life for their unborn babies.

During the annual relay, pro-lifers not just in America but around the world ran or walked five kilometers in gear that reminds onlookers to “Remember the Unborn.” The result is a worldwide public witness nudging mothers as well as fathers to give their children the gift of life.

"If you’re wearing that shirt, you’re evangelising,” Dr. Pat Castle, says former Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and founder of LIFE Runners.

LIFE Runners is inspired by the real power of pro-life messaging to change hearts. Sixty percent of abortion-minded mothers choose life if they encounter ONE supportive person or encouraging message, according to Castle.

This year’s A-Cross America Relay, which spans the United States in the shape of a cross, began at launch points at or near the northern, southern, eastern and western boundaries of the country. LIFE Runners in San Francisco, New York City, Fargo, North Dakota, and Austin, Texas, prayed before their kickoff leg, which in some cases included carrying their witness to abortion facilities. 

In New York City, LIFE Runners prayed at Parkmed abortion facility before walking a mile with their “Remember the Unborn” banner to a statue of Father Francis Patrick Duffy in Times Square. And in Fargo, North Dakota, LIFE Runners prayed in front of the Cathedral of St. Mary before walking 2.7 miles to an abortion facility, where Castle said they were met “with lots of spiritual attack.”

Polish Bishops Condemn Abortion Move

The Polish bishops have condemned two bills accepted by the Sejm (Polish Parliament) that would expand abortion “access.”

The two bills passed by the Sejm promoted societal acceptance of abortion, even if they never become law, the Polish Bishops’ Conference stated on October 24 at the conclusion of its plenary assembly in Zakopane, southern Poland.

“Caring for the lives of the vulnerable, especially unborn children, is a duty of conscience and an expression of every person’s social responsibility,” the bishops declared.

One of the bills seeks to amend the country’s abortion law to allow eugenic abortions when there is allegedly a high probability of severe or life-threatening illnesses in an unborn child. It would be a return to the legal situation before the end of 2020, when the Constitutional Tribunal, Poland’s highest court, ruled that eugenic abortion was unconstitutional. The second bill is intended to abolish penalties for persons aiding or abetting illegal abortions.
