Over 200,000 Poles join marches for life across nation to support abortion ban
Life Site News ^

WARSAW, Poland, May 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-life advocates held over 140 marches across Poland on Sunday, with participants totalling somewhere between 200,000-300,000 despite bad weather in some cities.

The Center for the Support of Family and Life Initiatives has coordinated the events since 2006 on May 15, a pro-life feast in Poland. A local committee with representatives from social and church organizations organizes each march. Some marches took place before May 15, and others will happen in June.

The march’s theme was “Every life is priceless,” a reminder of the value of every life, most specifically that of the unborn. “Everybody, regardless of his or her physical, spiritual or financial state, is invaluable, and nobody can deprive him of the fundamental right to life,” said the Center’s Paweł Kwaśniak. He explained that Polish abortion law allows the killing of 1,500 unborn children a year, in most cases for eugenic reasons.

During the marches, signatures for the abortion ban were gathered. These are needed for the Parliament to vote on the citizens’ bill. “This year there is a chance like no other to completely protect all human life by law,” Kwaśniak said. He emphasized that current abortion legislation, which allows for abortions in some cases, is a remnant of the 60-year old law introduced in Poland by the Communists.
