ON THE SUNNY SATURDAY AFTERNOON OF MAY 20th 2017, THOUSANDS GATHERED IN THE PIAZZA DELLA REPUBBLICA FOR ROME'S 7th ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE; ALLEGED NEWS. [1]
After the long march through some of the streets of Rome, the crowd gathered before a podium in the piazza next to the Vittoriano where organizers spoke; Alleged News. [1]
Among the invited guests was Stéphane Mercier, a philosophy professor at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium, who spoke about his recent suspension for describing what happens in an abortion to his students and asking them to reflect on it; Alleged News. [1]
Lumiere reported on this in our Thursday, April 13th 2017 blog post. [2]
Now the university is reportedly considering whether to sack him altogether - he asked for prayers; Alleged News. [1]
"MESSIAH"
The triumphal chorus from Handel's "Messiah" accompanied the prolifers, as twenty foreign groups including Americans and Canadians joined Italians in witnessing to the sanctity of life; Alleged News. [1]
Pro-life scientists, doctors, and pharmacists, representing the thousands of medical personnel who are conscientious objectors to abortion, euthanasia, and abortifacient pharmaceuticals—all opponents to Law194/78, which brought legal abortion to Italy nearly 40 years ago - were among the marchers; Alleged News. [1]
Cardinal Raymond Burke attended the March, Alleged News. [1]
VICTORY
The March began from Via della Conciliazione, wound along the Tiber and ended next to Piazza Venezia, alongside the "Vittoriano", the monument to Italy's Unknown Soldier; Alleged News. [1]
Like the unknown soldier, and all those unknown soldiers who lie, some forgotten - under fields, cemeteries, at the bottom of the sea - the aborted innocents also are "known but to God". And God will not be outdone. This ongoing work in our current global society to win full respect and love for the unborn child within the womb, is from God Himself.
His human children are being murdered in a rainbow of blood across the world, and the little souls He has created with such love and unique abilities are being sent back before His throne, curetted to pieces.
Only the complete forbearance of God and the witness of prolifers and those who stand under the standard of God which reads "THOU SHALT NOT KILL - EVER" saves us from the retribution of God Who is assuredly appalled at the utter atrocity and overwhelming numbers of the massacre of human children.
The word "Vittoriano" implies victory, and victory will be the prolifers. The reason? God is with us on this journey; Our Blessed Lady is present at every march for life. Jesus Christ gave His Precious Blood at Calvary in reparation for each precious life whose innocent blood - as His Own - is spilt.
ABORTION SURVIVOR GIANNA JESSEN
Gianna Jessen, an American who has cerebral palsy, recounted her life story to the audience with her life story; Alleged News. [1]
In 1977 she was born alive at seven and a half months after her mother underwent a failed saline abortion.
She was saved because her unexpected arrival happened early in the morning—the doctor had not yet arrived at the clinic so the attending nurse called an ambulance.
Gianna was later adopted and today she lectures widely to help stamp out abortion.
In her remarks in Rome she posed a question to the feminists of the world: “If you consider abortion as a right, where were my rights?” Alleged News. [1]
ROBERTO BRAZZALE
Another speaker was Roberto Brazzale, a businessman and owner of a dairy company in Vicenza, Northern Italy, which has over 500 employees; Alleged News. [1]
He spoke of the need to sustain families and said his company’s policy is to grant every employee with at least two years’ service a special “baby bonus” of €1,500 to help support a new child; Alleged News. [1]
His company also allows ample maternity and paternity leave so parents can be close to their newborn; Alleged News. [1]
Mr. Brazzale urged other employers to follow his example. Alleged News. [1]
POPE FRANCIS
Before the conclusion, a statement from His Holiness Pope Francis which had been transmitted through his Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, was read out; Alleged News. [1]
The Pope expressed his wish that “the event might favor adherence to the values of human life and welcoming of this divine gift in all of its fascinating richness," Alleged News. Applause followed. [1]
PRESIDENT VIRGINIA CODA NUNZIANTE
Then the March’s president and chief organizer, Virginia Coda Nunziante, made a plea in favor of life: “The piazza is full,” she said, “We are an immense crowd. The people of life want to be a positive presence that takes on the responsibility to defend not only the value of life [which is] a free and exclusive gift of God, but also the defense of all those who, weak or defenseless, cannot react and become castoffs of our hedonistic society,” Alleged News. [1]
BANNERS, FLAGS AND BALLOONS
Banners, flags and balloons were waved aloft by marchers; Alleged News. [1]
One pictured a mother cuddling her newborn. “It’s beautiful to have him in your arms,” it read, “not on your conscience," Alleged News. [1]
Another showed a late-stage, lifeless fetus with the words: “Mommy I forgive you!” Alleged News. [1]
This year’s event saw many references to euthanasia, which is wending its way to acceptability and even legality throughout Europe; Alleged News. [1]
“Aborto e eutanasia, la vita portano via!”—so rhymes the Italian version of “Abortion and euthanasia take away life,” Alleged News. [1]
Another sign reportedly read“Enough silent genocides". [1]
Several signs urged “Let’s defend the family,” others warned “Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself,” Alleged News. [1]
Another message read: “Let’s not kill the future,” Alleged News. [1]
