BRIDGEPORT—In the midst of all the discord in our society, one idea around which all Americans can unite is the Christmas hope for “Peace on Earth.” Here in Bridgeport, local pro-life advocates want to see that same hope extended to every member of the human family, including unborn children. On Sunday, December 13 at 12:00 Noon, they will call for “Peace in the Womb” by singing Christmas carols on the sidewalk along the front of Commerce Park where Planned Parenthood is located, 4695 Main Street in the North End of Bridgeport.
“It’s particularly sad to think of someone getting an abortion during the Christmas season,” said Tina Kelly, one of the caroling organizers. “So, we will gather to sing carols and remind abortion-bound mothers and their companions that the salvation of the world came through an unplanned pregnancy.”
Kelly continued, “Christmas is a time of reconciliation. Jesus was born to reconcile the world to Himself, and it is our hope that every mother will be reconciled to her unborn child, no matter how difficult the circumstances. And we will be there to offer whatever help we can.”
The pro-life caroling day in Bridgeport is one of about 100 scheduled throughout the country by the Pro-Life Action League, a national organization based in Chicago, to bring the Christmas message of peace and joy to the darkness of abortion clinics. Over the 18 years that the League has organized this event at abortion facilities, upon hearing the Christmas carols on the way into the abortion facility, many women have chosen not to go through with their abortions.
