Monday, I had the opportunity to participate in a March for Life rally in Chicago held by Joe Scheidler and the Pro Life Action League. The rally began at 1:30 outside Holy Name Cathedral, following the 12:30 Mass. There were a few hundred pro-lifers, both young and old, who gave their time to come out for the march, despite the very cold weather. Many of them were young college-aged kids from numerous colleges and universities around the Chicago Land area, along with numerous pro-life organizations, including Students for Life of Illinois. For a couple of hours, we marched along Michigan Avenue and had pro-life leaders speak, including \u00a0Joe Scheidler of Pro Life Action League, praying a rosary for the unborn, \u00a0chanting, and singing with all the pro-lifers during the march.<\/p>\n

The previous day on January 19th, Pro Life Action League also held their first annual Chicago March for Life March in Palatine, Illinois.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very glad to see more marches taking place across the nation, especially if one is unable to make it for the March for Life<\/a> in Washington D.C. or California, which has their Walk for Life<\/a> among other states.<\/p>\n

Although I was unable to make the Palatine event, I was glad to go the following day in downtown Chicago. This is a great start to a tradition where I will look forward to attend again next year, but I also hope to attend the March for Life in Washington. Not only will the expected record-breaking attendance be physically present in Washington this Friday, but all pro-lifers will be there spiritually as we come that much closer to putting an end to Roe v. Wade<\/em> and abortion – to becoming the pro-life nation we once were. President Obama\u2019s inauguration may have been a loud voice, but all pro-lifers combined will make an even bigger voice come this Friday.<\/p>\n

Not only is there a loud voice spoken in Washington, California, and Chicago, but I\u2019m glad to see more cities and states holding pro-life marches across the nation during the anniversary of Roe v. Wade<\/em>. We have had forty years of this destruction, and we will never give up until this madness ends and become pro-life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
