Pro-Life Leaders Remember Christian Activist Chuck Colson

Leading pro-life advocates are remembering pro-life advocate and Christian activist Chuck Colson, who passed away over the weekend. Colson, a writer who graced the LifeNews web site dozens of times with his insightful analysis and opinion, was in critical condition following emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.

The founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries was hospitalized at a northern Virginia facility where he reportedly suffered a brain hemorrhage while speaking a couple weeks ago.

On March 30, Colson became I'll while speaking at a Colson Center for Christian Worldview conference in Lansdowne. The following morning he had surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood on the surface of his brain, and doctors determined he had suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage. Though Colson remained in intensive care, doctors and family were optimistic for a recovery as he showed some signs of improvement. However, on April 17, Colson became gravely I'll when further complications developed. Ref. Source 6
