A March to Strike Abortion from Health Care
The annual March for Life event will focus on the Democrats' health care proposal, which includes federal funding of abortion.
More than 100,000 people are expected to gather in Washington, D.C., for the 37th annual March for Life rally on Jan. 22.
One primary message: no abortion funding in health care.
The pro-life march will follow Constitution Avenue, up Capitol Hill to the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress.
Kristan Hawkins, executive director of Students for Life, said this is a critical time in our nation's history, with Congress on the brink of passing a health care reform bill that would fund the destruction of human life.
"We are asking pro-life groups to unite around one clear simple message, 'No abortion in health care,'" she said. "We're asking all pro-lifers to make the sacrifice and come to Washington, D.C., next Friday, for the annual pro-life march."
She expects the media to pay special attention.
"Because abortion has been a key issue," she said." It's the single issue that's holding up the passage of health care reform in the Democratic-controlled Congress."
