Paris, France, Jan 14, 2008 / 14:37 pm
Next Sunday, January 20, the fourth “March for Life,” organized by a coalition of foundations that seek to modify France’s law on abortion, will take place in Paris.
The coalition of associations, called “30 Years is Enough,” organized the first march in 2005, and since then the number of participants has steadily increased each year.
This year delegations from other European countries will participate for the first time, including the “"Movimento per la Vita" of Italy, made up mostly of young people.
Organizers of the march are calling for changes to France’s abortion law, “which has led to more than 200,000 abortions each year.” The 2007 march brought together some 10,000 people, a significant crowd in a country where until recently the legality of abortion was considered a “closed” issue.
