MASSACHUSETTS PRO-LIFE COALITION ENDORSES MEN’S MARCH FOR LIFE –
WHY WON’T THE
ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON?
Today, the Massachusetts Pro-Life Coalition, an alliance of ten Bay State pro-life organizations, endorsed the National Men’s March To Abolish Abortion And Rally For Personhood, which will be held in Boston on Saturday, October 15, 2022.
At 11:30 am on the 15th, the participants will gather at the Planned Parenthood abortuary at 1055 Commonwealth Avenue in Allston. At 12:30 pm, they will commence their march to the Massachusetts State House. At 2 pm, the Rally For Personhood will begin in front of the State House on Beacon Street in Boston.
The purpose of the march is to encourage men, especially fathers, to take responsibility, and resolve to do more to end the scourge of abortion in America.
The Coalition is also criticizing the Archdiocese of Boston for an August 16th letter from Father William Joy of the Vicar-General’s office, which stated that “other marches … will not be endorsed by the Archdiocese nor should they be supported by its institutions.”
The Massachusetts Pro-Life Coalition called the march “An important milestone in the history of the pro-life movement in New England, which deserves the support of all those who believe in the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life, from conception to natural death.”
Coalition Chairman Bill Cotter, President of Operation Rescue: Boston, made the following comment: “If the archdiocese decided, for whatever reason, not to support the Men’s March, it could have just kept silent. Instead, it chose to actively impede the event by obstructing the participation of Catholic churches and schools.”
“This gratuitous action is profoundly disappointing. The pro-life community deserves a candid explanation from Cardinal O’Malley for this unjust and unwarranted decision.”
The Massachusetts Pro-Life Coalition, founded in 2017, brings together Operation Rescue Boston; Mass Resistance; the Massachusetts Alliance to Stop Taxpayer Funded Abortions; the Pro-Life Legal Defense Fund; the Boston Church Militant Resistance Chapter; the Boston Chapter of Helpers of God’s Precious Infants; American University Women for Life; the Hosea Initiative; the Pro-Life Network; and the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts.
