The Ecumenical News International website reports today (July 1, 2011) that a Russian pro-life organization is about to launch a network of clinics offering pre- and post-natal care, while excluding procedures such as abortion and in-vitro fertilization that "contradict the teachings of the Russian Orthodox, Catholic, and traditional Protestant churches," said Alexey Komov, the project manager.
The Life-Family Medical Centers Network will be run on a franchise basis under the auspices of "Za Zhizn" ("For Life"), an anti-abortion organization led by two Russian Orthodox priests.
Its formation was announced in Moscow on June 30 at the end of a two-day summit held by Rockford, Illinois-based World Congress of Families (WCF).
The clinics will cooperate with American organizations -- such as Heartbeat International -- which also runs pro-life medical centers.
