20130226 LifeNews Radio 40 Days-Saylor Homicide-Irish Poll

Text:
The Forty Days for Life Campaign continues, now entering its third week.  One participant writing from Scotland lamented that many fellow Christians seemed indifferent to the plight of the unborn and to the prayer and the vigil at abortion centers.  Last weekend near Seattle, pro-abortion counter-protestors calling themselves the Seattle Clinic Defense came to one 40 Days for Life demonstration and for a while blocked the driveway to that local abortion clinic, something that could have landed a pro-life protester in jail. What may most encourage many of the people holding vigil, are visits by members of the clergy offering support and their own personal prayer.

Disability advocacy groups are alarmed now that the death of Robert Saylor, a man with Down syndrome, has been ruled a homicide.  Saylor was in a movie theater and decided to see the movie ‘Zero Dark 30’a second time and simply would not leave the theater.  Off-duty police officers were called and the homicide investigation suggests they may have used such force that Saylor died of asphyxiation.

A new poll shows Irish citizens want strong pro-life protections for unborn children to protect them from abortion.  About two thirds of respondents said they approve of both laws requiring doctors to safeguard the life and health of the unborn and constitutional protection for the unborn prohibiting abortion, except to save the life of the mother.
