Right to Life of Southwest Indiana Travels to Washington DC for March for Life

0

Pro-Life Hoosiers from southwest Indiana are traveling to Washington DC for the March for Life that will be held on Friday, January 27, 2017.  Right to Life of Southwest Indiana is sponsoring its annual trip to Washington DC for the March for Life that draws hundreds of thousands of Americans who support the sanctity of human life.  This is the 27st year that the pro-life organization has organized and sponsored a trip.

The March for Life memorializes the 44th anniversary of the January 22, 1973, Supreme Court’s infamous abortion decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton that struck down all laws protecting unborn children and made abortion legal during the entire 9 months of pregnancy.  Since 1973, more than 59 million children have lost their lives to abortion.

Executive Director of Right to Life, Mary Ellen Van Dyke said, “On January 22, 1973, 7 of 9 US Supreme Court Justices decided that unborn boys & girls are not persons. This decision–not a law–excluded an entire segment of Americans, and denied them equal protection under our Constitution, which says that all are created equal.  We march to give a voice to these voiceless Americans.  We stand with hundreds of thousands of Americans who travel to Washington DC to stand shoulder to shoulder in a peaceful march to give the greatest civil rights issue of all time–killing of unborn innocent human beings–a voice.”

Why We March:

  1. The March gives voice to the children.  Even though abortion continues, it does not continue unchallenged.  The presence of those Americans who support the sanctity of human life is a call to the U.S. government and to all Americans that our voices are will be heard.
  2. The March gives encouragement to our fellow Pro-Life Legislators.
  3. The March encourages us to continue to speak for the unborn.
  4. The March trains young Life leaders.

More than 500,000 pro-life Americans from across the United States are expected to attend and march in silent support for life from the Washington Monument to the U.S. Supreme Court Building.

In addition to attending the March for Life, Right to Life of Southwest Indiana will attend meetings in the office of Pro-Life US Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. to discuss upcoming Pro-Life legislation and Life issues.  The group will attend a meeting in the office of Senator Joe Donnelly as well to urge him to support Life saving legislation.

In a Marist Poll of this week, 61% of Americans are against public funding of abortions.
