About 1,175 people stood along major roads and intersections Sunday, including College Road, Oleander Drive and Market Street, to protest abortion, according to local organizer Freddy Justice.Perhaps Christians can be thankful that the ever-so-tolerant pagans have not yet adopted the "convert or die" attitude of other fanatics...they only murder those who can't resist or fight back (the unborn, the nearly born, the old and elderly, the crippled)...
They held up signs that read "Abortion kills children" and "Adoption: The loving option." The local event was part of a nationwide movement called Life Chain that takes place every year. Wilmington was one of 29 North Carolina cities involved.
. . .
But some people unhappy with the message of the local anti-abortion groups hurled eggs at people on Market Street, said Justice, director of the Wilmington Life Chain.
None of the eggs hit anyone, but one of them landed in front of a woman and splattered on her, he said.
As we approach the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on Oct. 7, we must, as Archbishop Burke reminds us,
"recall the power of the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary on behalf of her children at the Battle of Lepanto and in so many other desperate situations. Let us not fail to call upon her help in our urgent need. Please pray the rosary or, at least, some part of the rosary every day, asking our Blessed Mother to intercede for the safeguarding of embryonic human life."And, he would add, of all innocent human life...let us not forget to make DAILY acts of reparation for the conversion of those who have exalted themselves as gods - determining who is worthy and unworthy of life. The forces of evil surround us and reasoning and dialogue are rendered impotent against those whose intellects and wills have been handed over to the father of lies. Our hope is in the name of the Lord. And seeking the intercession of His Beloved Mother, may He hears us and have mercy on us all.
