The national labor union has not typically weighed in on the abortion debate, but the CLF voted to ask the AFL-CIO ''to reconsider its position of neutrality on the issue.''

The California Labor Federation (CLF), a labor union coalition recently voted to oppose a parental notification measure on the California ballot this November. The group, which represents 2.1 million workers affiliated with 1,100 unions, also approved a policy statement calling on the national AFL-CIO to endorse abortion. The national labor union has not typically weighed in on the abortion debate but the CLF voted to ask the AFL-CIO ''to reconsider its position of neutrality on the issue.'' The most recent version of the AFL-CIO policy statement on abortion, adopted in 1990, leaves it up to individual union members to arrive at their own conclusions on the matter.

Prayer For Life

PRAYER FOR LIFE Lord God, thank you for creating human life in your image. Thank you for my life and the lives of those I love. Thank you for teaching us through Scripture the value you place on life. Help me to uphold the sanctity of life in my church and community. Give me the strength to stand up to those forces
that seek to destroy the lives of those most vulnerable,
the unborn, the infirm and the elderly. Today I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of respecting life. I commit myself to protecting and defending the sacredness of life
according to Your will, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.   Anglicans for Life 405 Frederick Avenue Sewickley, PA  15143
