MALTA, Oct. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Shrouding and Announcement of pro-life petition details are as follows:

Date and Time: Gift of Life and members of the pro-life movement will be holding a short ceremony on the 20th October 2007 at 10:00am

Location: The Pro-life Monument on the roundabout between 21st September Avenue Naxxar and Mosta

What will be happening:  The baby represented in the pro-life monument will be shrouded with a black veil. The veil will cover the baby and the womb of the pregnant woman depicted in the monument. The womb will remain covered until the Malta's politicians finally give the unborn child the dignity of having the right to life from conception through the Constitution on Malta.

Objectives:  To draw the attention of the Maltese population to the fact that our Island's politicians, despite claiming to be pro-life, have not yet taken the necessary steps to give the unborn child the Constitutional right to life from conception.

The symbolic covering of the baby in the womb with a black veil, aims to be a continuous public reminder to our politicians of the fact that the unborn child's human dignity as a human person from conception has been ignored.

A copy of the short speech will be handed to journalists following the event.

9+ "Supporting the full protection of human life from conception through all stages of development to a natural death"
