[bit.listserv.christia] March for Life

V111HFQ3@UBVMS (Robert Charles Weiss) (01/15/90)

A week from today, on Monday, January 22, 1990, the annual
March for Life will be held.

I wish to encourage all who can do so to attend this March. Both
to show support for human life and to encourage legislators who share
our pro-life agenda.

I wish that I could say that numbers didn't matter, but they do. In
the media age, policies and projects are often determined by perceptions
of public opinion. Perceptions that are influenced by the media, and the
media's love of numbers. To be brief, a huge turn-out is essential. In
order to demonstrate that a consistent pro-life, pro-family element is
prevalent in America, we must be willing to show that a large segment is
willing to sacrifice a day and some travel. A large turn-out will serve
to impress our concern and will also help to solicit a favorable response
from our elected officials.

Many of the Right to Life committees in various locales are sponsoring buses
to Washington for this event. There are more than reasonable...for instance...
from Buffalo to Washington and back home will cost $35.00.

Where else will you be able to make such a statement, make your voice heard so
well, for the committment of one day and the godly use of a meager portion of
your God-given resources?

For more information, call your local or regional Right to Life office.

Excuse  me,  I was  considering  going,  but now  I'm  not  sure what  my
participation  would mean.  I would  be going  to show  my support  for a
consistent ethic of  life, but I get nervious when  people start implying
other things. What exactly would I be supporting if I go?
