Young Indians run to fight abortion
Published Date: August 4, 2010
Some 5,000 people, mostly young Catholics, pounded the streets of central Bangalore in a run which capped a joint Church-rite campaign against abortion.
The “mini-marathon” on Aug. 1 in the capital of Karnataka state was organized by the Santhome Youth Association (SYA), a Syro-Malabar group.
The 9.9-kilometer run, signifying the nine months and nine days of the human gestation period, was also sponsored by the local Latin rite archdiocese and its institutions.
Participants held up placards condemning abortion and urged the state and federal governments to take steps to put a stop to the practice.
