Approximately six hundred Massachusetts pro-lifers braved the rain on Sunday to rally against abortion, the Boston Globe reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state March for Life, organized by Massachusetts Citizens for Life, featured speakers addressing both the personal and political dimensions of abortion and a two-mile walk that raised money for sixteen different crisis pregnancy centers and pro-life charities throughout the state<\/a>. The event began at the Parkman Bandstand at the Boston Common public park and concluded with a moment of silence at the State House.<\/p>\n

Speakers discussed several pro-life laws pending before the state legislature, including more stringent medical regulation of abortion clinics, directing taxpayer dollars away from abortion and toward baby safe havens<\/a> that provide for the safe surrender of newborns to the care of hospitals, police stations, or fire houses; and bans on twenty-week and partial-birth abortions.<\/p>\n

Prominent speakers included Boston archbishop Cardinal Sean O\u2019Malley and State Representative James Lyons. Boston Archdiocese Faith Formation director Rev. Matt Williams and event emcee Kelley McCormick made the constitutional case for life, with the former arguing that \u201call men are created equal\u201d and the latter noting, \u201cIf you don\u2019t get a chance at life, then you don\u2019t get an opportunity for liberty and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cori Connor-Morse, founder<\/a> of 40 Days for Life\u2019s Lynn, MA chapter, tearfully recounted the emotional fallout of her own abortion at age 20: \u201cMy baby should not be in heaven. My baby should be all grown up and living his life here, with us, as it was intended by Our Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n
