The Respect Life Committee promotes a genuine respect for human life at all stages of life through consciousness raising activities. Activities include: praying for the unborn, their mothers and abortionists; videotaping programs for parish organizations and other interested parties; sponsoring a bus to the annual Right to Life March in Washington, D.C.; and promoting political action by encouraging letter writing campaigns to congressmen and legislators on right to life issues. Some members join peaceful and legally organized picketing of abortion clinics.
