Annual pro-life demonstration occurred on January 27th
The 44th annual March for Life, the world’s largest annual pro-life demonstration will be held on January 27, 2017 in Washington D.C. Tens of thousands of Americans are set to travel from across the nation for this dignified protest to promote the beautiful dignity of human life which leads to a controversial topic that broils many people around the world, abortion.
The March for Life sent out a press release announcing that KellyAnne Conway, president of the polling company, inc./WomenTrend, and considered one of the highest ranking woman in President Trump’s administration. Conway will join many other courageous pro-life speakers like Archbishop of New York Cardinal Dolan, former Planned Parenthood Director and founder of ‘And then there were none.’ Abby Johnson, Mexican Telenovela star Karyme Lozano, author radio host Eric Metaxas, Bishop Vincent Mathews of the Church of God in Christ, who advocates for the adoption in the African American community, and NFl’s tight end, Benjamin Watson, of the Baltimore Ravens
The March for Life theme this year is “The Power of One,” says Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life. This bold and beautiful theme expressed by many other speakers shows how one person has the power to change the world and save lives.
It is this year’s March for Life that will encourage each of us to seek and fulfill our unique mission in building a stronger message, to protect the defenseless who cannot defend themselves. This year’s march shows that women can be authentic feminists, and defend a potential life. The March for Life is an action that is bold because of the flack they will most likely receive by the end of Friday night.
