On Friday, January 27th, 2017, 42 people (16 men, 25 women and 1 boy) boarded our bus to attend the 44th Annual March for Life! Our group included five students from Westminster College and ten from Grove City College. (The students were such a blessing to this 78 yr. old attending my 34th March for Life.) The youngest was Gunnar, age 10. Autumn, his Mom, has traveled with us for many years.
Our group was filmed by EWTN near the end of the March. We were very visible with our signs with two red hearts and the words, “Abortion, one heart stops…. another heart breaks”.
I had a personal banner which read “Defend God’s Gift of Life… from Conception to Natural Death” . This was carried by me and others; but mostly by Amy and Alex, Grove City College students. The rally prior to the March for Life began at Noon. Hundreds of thousands came from all over the nation. We gathered at the base of the Washington Monument to hear speakers Vice President Mike Pence, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood Director, to name a few. The actual march began around 1:00 PM. Marchers left from the base of the Washington Monument, and marched up Constitution Avenue to the steps of the Supreme Court.

It’s the Entire EWTN Coverage – over 7 HOURS!. To see just us: Drag the red line all the way to 5:52:52 then Go to Settings and choose o.25 speed. Look on the far left of the screen for the Black & White POSTER with the face of a baby and words “Face It Abortion Kills”. This is the first sign of our group and is followed by our PCUC New Castle group, holding white signs with two red hearts and the words “Abortion, one heart stops…. another heart breaks”. The March for Life is inspiring, awesome, prayerful and invigorating, especially for those of us who have spent many years speaking out in defense of God’s gift of Life.
Unlike EWTN, most of the media ignores this huge event which attracts hundreds of thousands every year. The majority who attend are high school and college students.
Abortion is America’s genocide. Planned Parenthood and groups like them are killing over 3,000 tiny little American baby boys and girls every day. Over 1.3 million every year – over 60 MILLION since 1973.
Please Pray and do something each day to help stop the killing of the innocent.
