Life Chain
The Life Chain is a pro-life social movement organization, one of the largest in the America. It was started in 1987 in Yuba City and Marysville by a small California-based pro-life ministry called Please Let Me Live.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Over 1,000 Cities Form National Life Chain )〕 Every first Sunday of October, Life Chain invites various churches and congregations across the United States to stand on designated sidewalks to pray and rally for one hour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Life Chain )〕
==Beliefs and Goals==
Followers of Please Let Me Live and the active participants of the Life Chain believe that "the abortion battle is first and foremost a spiritual one and that the solution rests chiefly with the Church".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Life Chain Coordinators' Manual )〕 Furthermore, they believe that they have the power necessary to "end the killing," but until recently had yet to find the will to do so.〔 This power, and the overall victory over abortion, lies in church ministers and pastors; the nation's "most vital leaders."〔
Please Let Me Live stresses the importance of being active citizens and becoming politically involved in the fight against abortion. However, they also stress the importance of separating those politics from the Life Chain, which would, according to the Life Chain Coordinator's Manual, weaken their emphasis on prayer, lead to disunity within their ranks, and sharpen the media's attacks against them.〔
"A foundational goal of the Life Chain is to unite all Christian clergy and Christian laity".〔 Thus, another important goal is to unite all pro-life organizations in the promotion of National Life Chain Sunday, held annually on the first Sunday in October.
