| | Ask God to change hearts | "Life with no end is what we believe. We are a people of life," the Rev. Tony Stubeda told his audience at Wednesday night's annual pro-life gathering at the Church of St. Pius X in Glencoe.
The meeting was held on the eve of the 38th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, that legalized abortion in the U.S. on Jan. 22, 1973.
Stubeda told the audience, mostly made up of religious education students, that talking about abortions "is a difficult topic. I have nothing new to tell you. There have been no new breakthroughs on the political front." Abortions are still legal in the United States.
But that does not mean the fight is over.
