No established right-to-life organization was prepared to undertake the planning, financial and operational responsibilities for a high impact prolife March on the U.S. Capitol. But, grassroots prolifers wanted to march!

About thirty prolife veterans resolved themselves into a committee and began making plans for the first March for Life.

On January 22, 1974, the first March for Life was held on the West Steps of the Capitol. An estimated 20,000 committed prolife Americans rallied that day on behalf of our preborn brothers and sisters.

In 1974, the March for Life was incorporated as a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization.

Our numbers have gradually risen through the years despite reduced numbers from the snow in 2000 and the terrible 9/11 attacks just months before the March 2002. These growing numbers give testimony to the increasing ranks of prolife Americans and to the importance of the March’s work.

The pro-life movement is making great progress in turning up the pressure on President Obama, abortion industry lobbyists, and their allies in Congress who are trying to hijack the health care reform debate to mandate taxpayer funding of abortion coverage. . .

But you help is needed TODAY to keep the momentum moving forward until the abortion mandate is stopped in its tracks!  The largest pro-life coalition against the aboriton mandate in health care, www.StopTheAbortionMandate.com just released a stunning new video showcasing many respected pro-life leaders voicing t heir concerns about President Obama’s health care bill.  To see the size and scope of the unified stance against the abortion mandate in Obama’s health care reform plans, go to http://www.youtube.com/wathc?v=_RD7hJhwy5g.

Please forward this message to all of your family, co-workers, and friends so they can see this important video as well.  We need to send a clear message to President Obama and abortion advocates in Congress that abortion is NOT health care and that Americans do NOT want to pay for taxpayer funded abortions — or be forced into health plans with mandatory abortion coverage.

You can help defray the cost of the new crosses with a $5.00 or more donation per cross.  Checks can be made out to Vanderburgh County Right to Life.  A Spiritual Adoption Birth Certificate is attached for you to provide a name for an aborted child.  These certificates will be sealed inside each of the crosses.  Perhaps you would like to sponsor one cross for each child that you gave birth to or maybe adopt one cross in honor of each of your grandchildren.

Please contact John or Angie Lasher at (812) 476-2511 if you or your group would like to help assemble crosses and/or place them in the field.  These crosses will remain in place throughout the entire year.  For more information on the project, please contact the Right to Life office at (812) 474-3195.

Healthcare Ad

Sharing the stage for the first time were 20 leaders of the pro-life and pro-family movements.    The webcast’s goal was to educate the grassroots activists regarding the government takeover of healthcare.  Under the proposed health care legislation before Congress, all Americans will be forced to pay for abortions in both public and private plans.   Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists will be required to violate their consciences and perform abortions or risk losing their jobs.   

Guest speakers included, Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Dr. Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life.  The webcast was moderated by David Bereit of 40 Days for Life.

According to Vanderburgh County Executive Director, Mary Ellen Van Dyke, “It was an historic moment to have national pro-life and pro-family leaders share the stage and unite for the cause and protection of all human life. 

Recordings of the webcast are available for download at http://stoptheabortionmandate.com/.

Vanderburgh County Right to Life protects all human life through education, services, and advocacy so that all life is protected in law and practice.

The Greatest Expansion of ABORTION since Roe v. Wade

• NULLIFICATION of state ABORTION regulations
