Catholic New World: Local Couple Releases Film on Pro-Life Movement

The two U.S. Supreme Court decisions that legalized abortion turned 40 years old last year, and now, in time for the 41st annual March for Life on Jan. 22, Chicago-based not-for-profit Pro-life Champions has released 40, a documentary on the pro-life movement.

The film is the brainchild of John Morales, a pro-life activist who might be familiar to Chicago- area residents from his work as a local sports broadcaster. He and his wife, Cynthia, are parents to an adopted son, and the issue of abortion is personal to them.

John Morales got the idea for the movie while in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament at the Women’s Center, a pregnancy help center in Chicago.
