Washington, DC -- Millions of Americans will be reminded of the pro-woman, pro-life perspective when they take to the streets on Sunday, October 4. That's because thousands of pro-life advocates in cities and towns across the country will be there to share the message with them.

The traditional Life Chain is held on the first Sunday in October. But should there be only one Life Chain per year -- especially if Congress addresses F.O.C.A. before next October? One solution is to have Life Chains as a semi-annual event. The 40 Days for Life is now a semi-annual event. The next problem would be if we have life chains twice a year, then when would be the most suitable time. It is my personal belief that the weekend before the Annunciation or the weekend after the Annunciation would be a great time. After all, that is the...
