Pro-Lifers March on International Day for Life By Dave Andrusko I apologize for neglecting a story I had meant to write yesterday. Over the weekend, there were encouraging events in Europe that should be highlighted. The Christian Post reported that over 100,000 people gathered in central Madrid to protest against laws that would ‘liberalize’ abortion laws in Spain. The march was in observance of International Day for Life, an annual event that takes place on March 25. The Demonstrations took place not just in Madrid, the capital of Spain, but also in over 80 other cities nationwide. The Post writes that protestors marched under the slogan “Yes to Life.” A manifesto read during the gathering urged the "abolition of all permissive abortion laws and the withdrawal of all the provisions making it easier for euthanasia and the manipulation of human embryos.” “Recently in Spain, a new law came into force that allows abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy,” wrote Andrea Marcela Madambashi. “It also legalized abortion up until the 22nd week of pregnancy in the cases of rape, fetal abnormality, or when the mother’s physical or mental health are at risk.” According to the story, there is no limit in cases where the unborn is “suffering from a serious or incurable illness certified by a medical committee.” Alicia Latorre, the secretary of the Federation of Pro-Life Associations, said, "The culture of death will not have the last word.” The Prague Daily Monitor reports that about a thousand people marched through Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic on Saturday. Prague Archbishop Dominik Duka celebrated a mass for the unborn at St Giles Church in the city's historical centre prior to the 11th March for Life.
