Student Pro-Life Walk Across America Passes 2000-Mile Mark

UNITED STATES, July 12, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – U.S. University and College students walking across America in promotion of the dignity of all human life have covered almost two-thirds of their route, passing through Chicago, Kansas and Louisiana Organized by Crossroads, a national pro-life group of student volunteers that began in 1995, the walk to promote the sanctity of life from conception to natural death is in its twelfth year. “

Crossroads was started in response to the late John Paul II’s call to the youth of America at the World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado to ‘build a Culture of Life,’” said Crossroads president Jim Nolan in a press release. “He challenged the youth of America and the world to ‘Be not afraid’.”

“By their own admission, we know that abortion-rights advocates have lied to Americans about the reality of abortion,” said Crossroads national director Martha Nolan. “They have disregarded the harmful effects that abortion has on women, physically and psychologically, and the negative effect it has had on the culture, generally. But they are beginning to tell the truth about one thing: that the pro-life side is winning.”

Let's hear it for our Catholic youth!
