Can local authorities ban a silent prayer on a public sidewalk in front of a pre-abortion advisory center?
That s the question the pro-life advocacy group 40 Days for Life in Pforzheim, Germany, will ask a national court on May 12 after they were barred from gathering to peacefully pray near the center.
Attorneys for the Alliance Defending Freedom International (ADFI), a faith-based legal advocacy organization, are representing the pro-life group at their hearing. I want to be there to pray, not for myself, but for the vulnerable women contemplating abortion, and for their unborn children. This topic really touches my heart, as I know the pain of losing a child. Our society must offer better support to mothers in difficult situations. Every life is valuable and deserves protection.
