The 2010 March for Life will be held Friday January 22nd in Washington D.C. The theme is “Stand Up Now! Unite for the Life Principles–No Exception! No Compromise!”
Americans United for Life is hosting the first free Virtual March for Life. There’s a new feature now that will allow you to create a personal “avatar” and show your support for the pro-life movement, even if you can’t make it to D.C. Thousands have already joined to show their support.
The first March for Life was held January 22, 1974 organized by grassroots pro-life leaders to memorialize the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision and to peacefully petition Congress to make amends. The first March in 1974 boasted 20,000 participants while the 2009 March had over 200,000 marchers.
