Every Child Deserves a Voice

 

“Every child deserves to be born. Every child deserves to have a voice.”

>>>> WATCH as this message is proclaimed in our 2018 March for Life “Love Saves Lives” promo video!

As I shared in a recent article for Focus on the Family, “We’ve been at this for quite a while – this year will mark the 45th annual March for Life. Our event is peaceful and nonviolent. Love is our mission. We work to end abortion; we seek a time when abortion is unthinkable.”

Will you be the voice for the unborn child that has no voice? For the expectant mother who needs love and support?

Join pro-life America at the 2018 March for Life on Friday, January 19th.

Even if you cannot attend, we still need your voice to share our message. Let your friends, family, and the world know #WhyWeMarch.

See you in one week!

Tips for First-Time March for Life Participants

 

The 45th annual March for Life is right around the corner. Many of you have been marching for years, while others are attending for the first time – we welcome all pro-life Americans to march with us!

Below are a few tips to make sure you’re ready for the 2018 March for Life.

See you on January 19th!

  1. Be prepared for cold weather!
    • Check the weather forecast before you’ll leave, but bring your warmest winter coat, no matter what!
    • Wear layers – you can add or remove depending on the temperature.
    • Bring hot hands for pockets, gloves, or boots.
    • Definitely bring gloves and hats, and wear comfortable, water-proof shoes.
  2. Stay connected with your group members.
    • The crowds are very large, so try and stay physically connected to your group as much as possible.
    • Make sure everyone has at least one leader’s cell phone number.
    • Give everyone a map – you can print off paper copies OR download the March for Life app.
    • Inform everyone of time and meeting place after the march is finished.
  3. Know your transportation options.
  4. Bring signs!
    • Be creative, and let the world know why we march!
    • Check out a few ideas HERE.
    • Even if you forget or can’t bring signs, many groups will have signs to hand out on the National Mall.
  5. Get ready to document your experience!
    • It’s important to show “why we march” – beforehand, post pictures, messages of why you will be marching for life with #whywemarch.
    • With the technology and social media options we have, every marcher can be a “citizen journalist.”
    • During the event, post pictures and videos of the crowd with #whywemarch & #marchforlife.
    • See all your posts at WhyWeMarch.org.
    • Consider wearing gloves that have screen sensitive finger tips!
    • Bring an extra battery charger for your devices!
  6. Attend the March for Life Expo
  7. Stay connected with the March for Life

The March for Life is an incredibly important opportunity for pro-life Americans from all across the country to come together and be a unified voice for a culture of life. We hope you will join us!

What If I Weren’t Here?

 

Guest story by Faith

Shared with permission by the March for Life. 

When my mother was pregnant with me, she thought she had miscarried several times. Upon running some prenatal diagnostic tests, her doctor revealed that I had a high likelihood of being born with a chromosomal disorder, such as Down Syndrome.

Delivery itself, the doctor cautioned my mom, could kill her. Why risk leaving 2 healthy kids motherless? Why cause her husband this pain…for a defect like me? Abortion was clearly the only “smart choice.”

My mom named me Faith because she chose life. She recognized my inherent dignity. She trusted God had a plan for me, regardless of my abilities or disabilities. And thank God she did.

Twenty years later, I can’t help but wonder if anyone would have noticed if I weren’t here. Twenty years later, I’m able to speak for the silent who never got their chance.

The pro-life movement is a chance to reflect on that “what if.” What if I weren’t here? What if YOU weren’t here? I can’t help but think about the countless people I could’ve known, but don’t–and how close I was to joining their ranks. I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to have been the exception.

I mourn for those like me who never had the chance to share a story with a happy ending. I march for them. I march because I could have been them. I march because I’m here…and they’re not.
