HOUSTON, Oct. 18 /
Christian Newswire/ -- Pro-life organizations are coming together on October 23, 2010 to educate, inspire and pray in an event called Unite for Life – Houston. Inviting all pro-life supporters, this FREE event will kick off at the Catholic Charismatic Center with a morning of inspiring messages from leading pro-life advocates, including international pro-life speaker Eduardo Verástegui, and then culminate with a prayerful march to the new Planned Parenthood.
Motivated by the recent construction of a new Planned Parenthood in Houston, the largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere, that performs abortions up to the 25th week of pregnancy, Unite for Life – Houston commits to not only inspire pro-life believers but to educate them on how to take action in their communities. Pro-life organizations will be attending the event to provide information and welcome new members.
President of Health Care Professionals for Life and Chairwoman of Unite for Life - Houston 2010, Mary Catharine Maxian, M.D. has learned through her work that there are many pro-lifers in the community that have an earnest desire to help the pro-life cause but didn't know where to start. She says, "Unite for Life - Houston is designed to be not just motivational, but action-oriented. We will be giving pro-life Houstonians concrete tools and information for them to immediately get involved and be part of the solution. One way to help is to join groups that are already established. Unite for Life - Houston allows people the opportunity to learn about the many different areas of the pro-life movement so that they can pick a niche that fits them. When we get all of the pro-lifers working together, praying together, voting together, and uniting our efforts with the will of God, the abortion industry will not stand a chance against us."
International pro-life speaker Eduardo Verástegui, also well-known for producing, directing and starring in the compelling pro-life film, Bella, will serve as the keynote speaker. His pioneering pro-life message created the Bella Hero project, a plan designed to equip pregnancy care centers around the world with copies of Bella for women discerning abortion.
