Students from the University of Dallas' Crusaders for Life, as well as seminarians from Holy Trinity Seminary, participated in a Life Chain in Las Colinas on October 1.
The day was designated "National Life Chain Sunday" by Please Let Me Live, an organization based in northern California. The organization coordinates demonstrations across the United States and Canada each year, usually on the first Sunday of October.
Participants in the event witnessed to the dignity of human life by holding non-graphic signs on the side of the road with different pro-life statements, such as "Abortion Hurts Women," "Life- the First Inalienable Right," and "Pray to End Abortion," among others.
According to a press release issued the day of the demonstration, "the event is devoted to repentance, peaceful public witness, and ultimately to ending legalized abortion."
The Crusaders for Life group was assigned a spot at MacArthur and 635 in Las Colinas. The location, which was chosen by Flory Malloy, was one of many in the Metroplex, and thousands throughout the continent.
According to Crusaders for Life Publicity Director Dani Schumer, the hour that the Life Chain lasted "went by really fast when you were centered in prayer."
Schumer also noted that responses from passing drivers were "definitely more positive than negative," and that it was "really encouraging to see so many people respond in such a positive way."
