Band Members: Participants living in the Washington, DC area have stood nearly every day in front of the Supreme Court since October 2004 wearing the red “LIFE†tape. Additional groups have joined in participation around the country by standing in front of local courthouses and abortion clinics. Over 120 “chapters†are listed representing most states in the U.S. The organization claims to have recently extended into as many as seven different countries.The organization encourages participants to make a three-part pledge. The first deals with praying daily for abortion to end; presumably for the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade to be overturned. The second part calls for participants to only vote for candidates that support a similar point of view concerning abortion. The final part calls for participants to “obey God in acts of compassion and justice.†Sources state that over 320,000 participants have taken this pledge.References are also made to promoting adoption as a legitimate alternative to abortion regardless of circumstances.Bound4LIFE participants in the past have shown interest in and have attempted to directly and indirectly influence federal and state legislation through personal contact and voter mobilization.
Influences: The national and international leadership responsibilities were assumed by Matt Lockett, an associate of Engle, in January 2007. Local chapter participants provide their own leadership and receive resources and information from the parent organization, which is currently headquartered in Charlotte, NC.....
