Ladies and gentlemen,
Olesnica is simply a symbol.
This year, there is simply a front for a civilizational clash, which can be settled across the city.
That's where the freezing blood in the veins of Felk's execution happened.
It is there, on the basis of judgments issued by psychiatrists, that unborn children are regularly murdered, and statistic conducted by the infirmary paper the continuous increase in lethal procedures.
Only last year more than 150 abortions were performed on this basis in this facility. Almost all another day, a kid is killed there based on a psychiatrist’s opinion.
Many of these children were perfectly healthy, she could be born and happily grew up, could in the future learn, work and start her families.
However, after the drama “Felka”, whose death was touched by thousands of Poles, something changed.
First – an effort at civilian detention of Gizela Jagielska, who was to insert a needle into Felka's heart. Then – regular pickets and prayer under the hospital.
Finally, On 22 June, thanks to the commitment of the initiative of Wrocław for Life, the Lower Silesian Youth of All Poland and the Centre of Life and Family, for the first time the March for Life and household passed through the streets of Oleśnica.
We have forgotten the lives of those who cannot defend themselves. To express our opposition to barbarism in the Oleśnica hospital. To bear witness that the defenders of the civilization of life do not lay down weapons, facing institutions, governments or foreign-funded activists.
“Mom, Dad – don’t kill” we chanted on behalf of mute patients infirmary in Oleśnica.
The fight for life is besides a presence on the streets.
It is simply a individual witness that mobilizes others and gives them courage against the communicative of the largest media and politics conducted by the ruling Polish parties. Our presence is needed to sustain the spirit—without it, Without this strained string of social conscience there will be no projects to defend unborn lives and there will be no politicians to lead them. No 1 will deal with matters that citizens are silent about.
The minute that I remembered most was, of course, the passage under the Oleśnica hospital. It was hard to escape the thought of a nameless kid losing his life there...
Believe me, it wasn't a pleasant walk. The Marchers were watching us screams of ridicule. 1 councillor accused us of “epatating with violence” and mocked us for doing so to defend our beliefs, not children. He moved on to display posters documenting the bloody cruelty of abortion, although he did not head that the things presented there were happening under his nose and with the blessing of local officials.
But despite the reluctance of the participants – residents of Oleśnica itself, but besides surrounding municipalities, and besides came from another places of Poland – they went through the main streets, symbolically taking over the abortion capital of Poland.
I have no illusion that our June March and the preceding events will lead to a abrupt and structural change. Our commitment – through various forms of social action – is inactive essential. We must be patient, persistent and determined.
But see – Gizela Jagielska, head promoter and executive of killer procedures in Oleśnica, has resigned from the position of Deputy manager of Medical HospitalAlthough she will proceed to work in the obstetrics ward.
It states that this has nothing to do with the actions of organisations defending the right to life, but at the same time acknowledges that it did not anticipate that it would "be news throughout the country".
But I think the constant force makes sense.
And our actions can only be carried out through your self-sacrifice, for which I sincerely thank and humbly ask.
March period for Life and household in full. Not only in Oleśnica has the voice in defence in fresh days.
For the first time, the March was besides held in Wadowice, in the city, “where it all began”, as St. John Paul II put it.
The march had a deep spiritual dimension. It wasn't just crossing the streets of the city – it was a pilgrimage of memory and conscience, during which in the hearts of the participants the words of the Holy Father, said in Kalisz: “The nation that kills its own children, is simply a nation without a future.”
In fresh weeks Marches for Life and Families have besides passed through Leszno, fresh Salt, Blissians, Rudnik nad San, Szczekociny, Tomaszów Lubelski, Wyszków and Śrem. These holidays will be held in Gniezno and Bielsko Podlaski. We prove conclusively that in no corner of Poland there is no shortage of people willing to publically defend the most fundamental values!
This would not have been possible without the courage and large commitment of local organizers, who deserve large applause and gratitude for the heart, time and work they put into this work!
But I'll stress again:
These events could not have taken place without your support. The coordination of movement and support provided to March organizers for Life and household is simply a real financial burden for us. And they're not tiny sums. The full amount from respective invoices for preparing materials for the March is PLN 21 300.
Those of you who participate in the Marches know precisely how many gadgets appear there. These are banners, posters, flyers, marching windmills, balloons...
In the last 2 months – in May and June – the Center for Life and household coordinated 45 Marches across Poland, which gives an average of 5 marches a week. That means that every Saturday and Sunday of past months, somewhere in Poland, defenders of life gave a public witness to the value of life and respect for the family.
A full of 60 Marches have already been held. any have been doing it for years, others are just starting. Apart from the aforementioned Oleśnica and Wadowice, they debuted (also mentioned) Blissians, Szczekocin or Nisko.
As you can see, the march is not just a substance of large metropolises.
As a coordinator, we aid by developing graphic projects and financing poster printing, producing and distributing frontal banners, gadgets for children and helping to advance and publicize the event.
You can compose to us and we will conduct you throughout the organizational process.
So if there were people in your environment who wanted to organize a March in your city this fall, I cordially encourage you to contact me – we are ready to supply the essential assistance in preparing the event.
This is truly very crucial in our conflict to defend the fundamental human right – the right to life.
I've already written about the dimension of a individual testimony, but Marches are besides an excellent vehicle of social initiatives. In the course of this process we collect signatures under crucial social projects, including in 2016 we collected 450 1000 signatures under the task "Stop abortion".
In addition, make space for pro-life organisationsto present their activities during picnics and another accompanying events, to recruit volunteers and coworkers. It is besides a space for charitable activities – e.g. in Warsaw for years we organized a question for the benefit of the Mother's Lonely home in Chyliczki.
Finally, The Marches make local structures persons active in the fight for the right to life, household autonomy, valuable education and defence of the Christian heritage of the nation. A network of leaders and organisations is being created, which takes steps in these areas professionally and with commitment.
Dear Friends of Life, if you want to support the organisation of subsequent Marches and contribute to exerting an even more effective emphasis on public opinion, delight make a contribution of any amount. Thanks to your support we will be able to make the march movement, which will translate into real successes in the fight for the defence of human life!
I assure you that we are doing everything we can to change the reality by fighting for what is crucial to you.
W The Sejm is waiting for 4 draft abortion laws. One of them provides for a partial depenalisation of abortion, the another allows abortion to be discontinued until week 12 practically on request, without any justification, and another – the restoration of the abortion "compromise" before the Constitutional Court's judgement in 2020 and the extension of the conditions for abortion after 12 weeks.
We anticipate an intense debate. erstwhile again, we will organise social opposition and push on politicians, and the Marches are preparing the ground for all of this.
During his 1999 speech in Wadowice, St. John Paul II said: "I am grateful for this large gift of your love for man and your concern for life."
I ask you very much to take over the baton in the intergenerational relay and proceed to practice "life care". Not only in individual life, but besides in the social dimension, engaging in valuable initiatives and supporting their development.
And let's not forget – Marches for Life and household are just thousands of smiling faces, a community of happy people, it's gratitude and joy from the way that has been taken. It's worth being in this group.
I look forward to your aid and warmly greet you
Marcin Perłowski
Director of the Life and household Centre
