TITUSVILLE, FL -- Priests for Life, one of the world’s largest pro-life organizations, stands firmly and publicly against Maryland’s Question 1, the Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.
This radical amendment makes it clear that “reproductive rights” are not limited to abortion – which has long been protected in Maryland.
Moreover, by declaring these rights for “every person” and referring to the “individual’s right,” it is clear that parental rights are being pushed to the side. Parents would have a hard time trying to have a say in their young daughter’s “decisions” about reproduction and sexuality, given that the rights are declared to be “fundamental” and limited only by a “compelling state interest.” This puts the child’s “freedom” in the highest category of state protection – protection, that is, from parents!
Priests for Life is calling on all citizens in Maryland to join in an evening of prayer we are sponsoring on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET on EndAbortion.TV (and its linked social media and video-sharing platforms). The intention of these prayers is for the defeat of this initiative and of similar measures in nine other states. State and national leaders will speak and pray on the broadcast.
Likewise, citizens are invited to learn more about these extreme abortion ballot measures through the series Fight the Abortion Ballot Initiatives, also airing on EndAbortion.TV each Thursday evening at 9 p.m. ET.
