Over the last year a small group of pro-lifers to display very simple pro-life banners, "ABORTION TAKES HUMAN LIFE," in very readable font on a plain blue background from a pedestrian overpass over the south end of the Dan Ryan Expressway, I-94, leading into and out of downtown Chicago. On Saturday mornings or early afternoons every month we reach just about 20,000 people every hour for two or three hours. Two or three other similar locations around metropolitan Chicago average upwards of 15,000 people per hour at a variety of days and times.
Chris Iverson, who has spearheaded these pro-life bridges in the Chicago area, is a director of Pro-Life Action League. The League is promoting the project nationally with an effort to have bridges manned in 50 cities during either the morning or the afternoon rush on June 22nd.
So far the only Illinois locations are the ones which are done regularly in Chicagoland. Other Illinois sign-ups would be most welcome! Also, Illinoisans might have an interest in efforts to plan an overpass in the St. Louis area, the Quad Cities, the Borman Expressway in northwest Indiana, or elsewhere on or near Illinois's borders.
Click here for contact information or to register to host or participate on one of the bridges in your area.
For further help on organizing a pro-life bridge in your area, contact John Ryan by voice or text at 708.945.8247 or by e-mail at domer_10305@yahoo.com.
Registration closes next week in order to get the materials to all coordinators on time.
