Evangelical megachurches across San Diego, Calif., are joining Catholics on Sunday to make a public outcry against abortion in their first ever joint pro-life rally.
The demonstration, which will take place after the multiple worship services that typically take place at megachurches, is being held on the same day President Barack Obama will take the stage at the University of Notre Dame to deliver the commencement speech.
While the San Diego rally is fundamentally a pro-life rally, the undertone of the event is "a statement to the president that the killing of babies must come to an end," Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church told The Christian Post.
Garlow, along with thousands of Catholics, believes the University of Notre Dame is violating its Roman Catholic values by awarding Obama with an honorary doctor of laws degree.
"We join with many in noting this moment of deception and shame," Garlow said.
The Skyline Church pastor is not new to the cultural wars scene.
Last year, his 2,500-member church actively rallied California congregations to help pass Proposition 8, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
This year, he called up his busy "evangelical friends" to create a "powerful new force" to the pro-life movement. And at a moment's notice, Garlow noted, they hopped on board.
"I'm amazed," Garlow said. "I have not seen this willingness to be active and speak out for about 20 years."
"I have not seen this kind of concern over the pro-life cause."

You make a lot of personal attacks but I don’t know why, a conservative point of is kind of the theme here.
We can be united on this without trying to convert each other. Thank you for this amazing photo. I regret I could not be there to help.
All thanks and credit to EternalVigilance and all the other devoted souls who showed up in person to protest and document this sorrowful day.

These are the types of Catholics I support not the vermin at Notre Dame. Ditto and kudos to Evangelicals and Protestants fighting to stop infanticide.
I’m glad to see this also. In addition to the Tea Parties, it would be great to see the churches of America come together for huge Baby Showers to protest B.O.’s abortion policies.
