“March for Life” in Downtown Chicago on May 22, 2009


Friday I received two time sensitive e-mails about upcoming events. I have not checked the links to tonight’s post but am posting it since the event is Friday. This is an Illinois (and surrounding Chicago area) event dealing with a protest over the MURDER of the unborn. I am posting the e-mail tonight for your consideration. I have also put it into my format. This is the second e-mail for Illinois events this week. The first one posted Saturday is a Tuesday event concerning Illinois tax increases. Tomorrow, I plan to return to my series on “hate crimes.” The e-mail:

“‘March for Life’ in Downtown Chicago on May 22, 2009
Illinois Family Institute

Americans for Life (http://www.americansforlife.com/) have announced a March for Life to be held on May 22 in the Chicago business district. A rally will be held at the State of Illinois building from 11:30am to 12:15pm. The March to the Federal Plaza will be from 12:15 to 1pm. From 1pm to approximately 2:30pm a wide range of topics and speakers will be featured at the Federal plaza.

In response to the avalanche of pro-abortion and anti-life initiatives being adopted at the Federal and State level, the immoral use and destruction of human embryos for research, and the efforts by the Federal government to force health care workers to perform abortions:
