The annual March for Life rally was held today in Washington , District of Columbia America .
The event observes the anniversary of the 1973 United States Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions. Over 50 million abortions have been committed since then. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the decisions that overturned state bans on abortion and permitted the procedures throughout pregnancy for broadly-defined reasons of well-being. The First March for Life was held in 1974.
It is also the first March for Life held after the death of its founder, Nellie Gray, in 2012. See my post from August of 2012, Nellie Gray, Rest in Peace, http://williamcinfici.blogspot.com/2012/08/nellie-gray-rest-in-peace.html, meaning that her legacy is an enduring event that calls attention to the evil of abortion and the harm it causes not only to unborn children, but to their mothers and other perpetrators, fathers and other family members and to society as a whole, and is a rally of prayer and speaking to promote the cause of life.
