During October people throughout the nation will take to the streets for a cause they believe in. They will gather on road sides with signs letting travelers see their support for the pro-life movement.
The pro-life movement holds to the belief that all life is sacred from the moment of conception until natural death. October is also known as Respect Life Month. The Life Chain is an ecumenical event bringing together different faiths for the same cause.
Several cities in Southeast Texas will be participating in this year’s Life Chain Oct. 2 or Oct. 30.
Each meeting place will be accepting $1 donations for each sign. All donations will go to Birthrights in Beaumont and
Orange and the Hope Women’s Resource Clinic in Beaumont.
