March for Life and Family
March for Life and Family is a joyful affirmation of Judeo-Christian values and every person’s right to life from conception to natural death.
The idea of the march has particular significance in the presence of culture of death, which is a real danger for human rights, the family and whole societies.
Abortion in Poland is legal up to 12 weeks of gestation when the pregnancy is a result of a crime, up to 20-24 weeks when the baby is diagnosed with genetic imperfection or disability, or when the mother’s life or health is thought to be in danger. Official statistics report about 150-200 of such cases a year. Homosexual unions are not legal but the attack on life and family by leftist radicals, feminists and the gay movement is well underway.
The organizers of the march are a new generation of pro-life and pro-family groups - Fundacja Pro and Stowarzyszenie Kultury Chrześcijańskiej im. Ks. Piotra Skargi (which is the Polish branch of the Tradition, Family, Property association). They welcome people and non-governmental organizations supporting the idea of fundamental human rights and respect for the family.
