For 43 years, this Pro-Life rally has been held to protest abortion and since its inception, the rally has grown by thousands of marchers each year, even having close to 600,000 marchers in 2013. The March is organized by the March for Life Education Defense Fund and its goal is to make people aware of the tragedy of abortion, overturn the Roe v. Wade decision and reduce access to the procedure.
On thursday January 26th from 9AM-12PM the March for life will hold its annual conference with many keynote speakers.The March for Life Conference is designed to provide marchers with in-depth education on the yearly theme. The speakers and training sessions will provide information and training tools for marchers to go back to their communities equipped to make a difference for life in their communities.
