People of the same gender contemplating going into wedlock had better think twice, as experts have discovered that same sex marriage decreases life expectancy and by complication resulting in early death.

The tolerance and promotion of same sex union also leads to the corrosion of more basic rights (consciences right, religious right), injury to children and further degradation of family.

These facts were contained in a seven-point Declaration issued at the end of the Pro-Life Conference/Rally at the Obiri Odenigbo, Villa Assumpta Owerri, (June 3-4, 2013) organized by the Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri.

The participants warned, “It is for this reason that it should never be an integral part of our social, culture or legal landscape.  True marriage is a one-man and one-woman covenant established by God”.

The conference at which resource persons from Europe, United States and Nigeria delivered papers, had as its theme: “Protecting Human Life from Conception to Natural Death”.

In his word of welcome earlier, Catholic Archbishop of Owerri, His Grace, Most Rev. A.J.V. Obinna, condemned what he described as a grave and aggressive assault by anti-life agents from Europe and America not only on the life of unborn and born children, but also on vital spiritual and moral values that sustain and guide children of God everywhere across the world.
