Bound4life
Bound4LIFE is a grassroots anti-abortion organization originating in the United States. The non-profit organization was founded in 2004 by Lou Engle while gathered for silent prayer in front of the United States [Supreme Court] in Washington, DC. A major goal of the organization is to train and multiply the number of Christians that pray regularly for the ending of abortion.
Activism
The key identifying element of the movement is a piece of red tape with the word "LIFE" handwritten on it that is worn over the mouth during prayer gatherings. "Taping their mouths shut" is a voluntary way of promoting prayer as opposed to vocal protest. The organization's motto is "It's not a protest. It's a prayer meeting."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." Participants wear a red "life" wristband, sold by the organization, as a symbol of this pledge.
