Vatican City, Jan 25, 2013 \/ 10:35 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Pope Benedict has sent a Twitter message expressing his solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of people marching in America this week for a culture of life and an end to abortion.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI join all those marching for life from afar, and pray that political leaders will protect the unborn and promote a culture of life,\u201d he tweeted Jan. 25.<\/p>\n

\tFrom coast to coast, pro-life marches and rallies in America continue to mark the week of Jan. 22 as the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade \u2013 the Supreme Court decision that effectively legalized abortion throughout the nation.<\/p>\n

\tSan Francisco's Walk for Life West Coast on Jan. 26 will be attended by Archbishop Carlo Vigan\u00f2, apostolic nuncio to the United States.<\/p>\n

\tThe March for Life in Washington, D.C. is occurring today, Jan. 25, and has drawn hundreds of thousands of participants.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, told CNA Jan. 23 that \u201cThese marches for life that are taking place across the United States are very important, not only for the country, but for the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThese events which favor human life without limits, from conception until the end, have become a very important historical reference for all other Catholic countries worldwide,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAnd if we talk about the Vatican as another face of the Church, then we can say the Church supports these marches in the whole world because the participants are the Church themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tPope Benedict's tweets reach 2.5 million followers. He tweets in nine languages, English, Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Latin.<\/p>\n
