PA LifeLinks e-newsletter December 20, 2020 Merry Christmas! ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ She Embraced Life and Never Gave Up Hope! PA Pro-Life Federation’s Maria Gallagher Honored as Person of the Year 2020 By Michael Ciccocioppo, Executive Director On behalf of the board of directors, chapters, staff, volunteers and the tens of thousands of grassroots members of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, I congratulate our Legislative/Political Action Committee Director Maria Gallagher for being selected as the Person of the Year 2020 by the Society of St. Sebastian. CONTINUE READING A look ahead to pro-life state legislation By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director 2021 is not even here yet, but already lawmakers in Pennsylvania are working on their legislative agendas. At the top of the list for many legislators are measures which call attention to the sanctity of innocent human life. For instance, Rep. Tim O’Neal (R-Washington County) is reintroducing a bill to make abortion facilities more accountable with regard to health and safety violations. The bill would require abortion centers to post on their websites the results of state Health Department inspections. The websites would also have to show proof of correction for violations of Pennsylvania health requirements. CONTINUE READING Opening Every Gift By Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director In this season of gift-giving, pretty packages with glittery ribbons abound, stirring curiosity and creating anticipation. The completely unexpected gift is often the best. Someone takes us by surprise, filling us with a sense of delight and wonder as we carefully unwrap the layers to discover whatever treasure lies within. Imagine, however, we never open the gift. Perhaps the packaging is not what we expected. Or the ribbon is knotted and the gift difficult to open. Rather than embracing this gift with joyful anticipation, we are discouraged and discard it. Left unopened, we never realize what awaited us. CONTINUE READING Sign our Petition against using your tax dollars to pay for abortion! Click HERE! SPECIAL EVENTS Philadelphia March for Life The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation will be co-sponsoring a Philadelphia March for Life with the Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia and others on Saturday, January 23, 2021. All are invited. The day will begin at 9 am with Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, followed by a march and rally. Please check our website and social media for updates as they develop.   CHAPTER EVENTS Gettysburg Pro-Life Prayer Rally Adams County Pennsylvanians for Human Life is sponsoring the annual Pro-Life Prayer Rally in front of the Adams County Courthouse, 111 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, on Friday, January 22, 2021, from Noon  to 12:30 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to join us for a time of prayer for, and remembrance of, the more than 62 million innocent babies who have lost their precious lives to abortion in the United States over the past 48 years since the Supreme Court wrongly decided Roe v. Wade.  For more information about this event contact chapter president Ruth Santino at ruthsantino@yahoo.com. Erie March for Life The 2021 Erie March for Life will take place as originally scheduled, on Saturday, January 23, 2021, just six days before the 48th Annual March for Life in Washington, DC. The March will be held in downtown Erie, once again. Please watch for an announcement about the exact staging location and route. The March will conclude, as is customary, with a brief program of speakers. The City of Erie has a moratorium on special event permits due to COVID. If the moratorium is lifted before January 23, the March will look very much same as it has in recent years. However, without a special events permit, we will be unable to march on the city streets or have full use of the Pavilion in west Perry Square. Instead, we will march on the sidewalks, observing the normal rules for pedestrians. We will also take care to observe all applicable COVID health and safety guidelines.
