- Life Chain is a time for prayerful self-analysis, repentance, and serious commitment to helping end abortion in our nation. Life Chain is not chiefly a demonstration, and its witness is not intended for the viewing public only. Instead, its first goal is to minister to its own participantsto those who call Christ their Lord and hold pro-life messages that declare abortion a grave evil that defames the name and holiness of God (Leviticus 18:21). Indeed the Church that Christ founded has drifted into cold indifference toward the sacredness of human life, and the result has been the mindless surgical killing and mutilation of over 45 million Fetal-Americans, plus untold millions who have fallen victim to abortive chemicals and medical neglect.	+ Life Chain is a time for "prayerful self-analysis, repentance, and serious commitment to helping end abortion in our nation". Life Chain is not chiefly a demonstration, and its witness is not intended for the viewing public only.
