The all-Russian movement “Women for Life” will hold a rally against abortion on March 10 in the center of Moscow. The women will form a picket line along the entire length of Tverskaya Street from Pushkin Square to the Kremlin, “Women for Life” leader Natalia Moskvitina told Interfax-Religion on Tuesday.

According to her, the purpose of the rally is to show that, if women earlier demanded equal rights with men, then now “women’s main right is now at risk—the right to bear a healthy child.”

As N. Moskvitina notes, the event aims to show that women standing against abortion today are not just poorly-educated and provincial, “but modern and stylish residents of the metropolis, who have not been prevent from finding success in life by bearing one or even several children.”

“Among the members of our movement are representatives of various professions, achieving great career success. And each one has not just one or two children. A large family not only does not interfere in a career, but it even helps to achieve great success and social recognition,” she added.

“To expect some prosperous marriage or some kind of joyous life after infanticide is simply ridiculous. A person can find no kind of happiness if he is a murderer of his own children. Such cannibals, as our people, need to be wiped off the face of the earth, and only the great grace of God towards us (for we are all His children) will save us from the wrath of God. But if we don’t wake up, the wrath of God will fall upon us,” stated Fr. Dmitry.

Fr. Alexei has noted that over fifty percent of families at the Holy Trinity parish where he serves have many children. “For the majority of them it was a tough decision to have three-five children. However, when a person overcomes his fear and begins to trust God wholeheartedly, he becomes convinced that his decision was not in vain. And such families find genuine joy,” the priest explained.

We are convinced that the life of a human being begins from the moment of conception, which is consistent with the views of both our religious traditions and modern science. Those who deny an unborn child the right to live go against God, conscience and moral laws. The destruction of a helpless life hidden in the mother’s womb is a heavy sin. No consideration of one’s own comfort, gain or false fears can justify the sin of infanticide, which will inevitably lead to negative physiological, moral and spiritual consequences for all the participants in this crime.

"I am convinced that one of our most important steps for overcoming this problem is timely and comprehensive help for women finding themselves in a crisis situation. The Church is taking the most active and dynamic role in resolving this question, organizing special shelters and humanitarian centers to which pregnant women and those already with children can turn, including for financial support. Even a little help can convince a woman to refuse an abortion or the decision to leave her child in the maternity ward."

Bravi finalmente qualcuno si muove per fermare la piaga dell'aborto.Si punisce una donna che uccide il figlio dopo un giorno dalla sua nascita e non viene punita quando lo fa uccidere al quarte mese di gravidanza.C'и qualcosa che non torna.
