When a tragedy goes on and on, the voice of those who defend the victims must only increase, not fall silent. It gives encouragement to our friends in government. Those in Congress who support the right to life need to hear from us. They need to see that we are out there in great numbers, so that they can continue to call for an end to abortion. It encourages us.
Participants come away from the march invigorated and inspired for another year of work.
They see those laboring with them across the country, and know they are part of a great movement. It trains young leaders. I received my own inspiration to be active in this movement when I attended the March for Life as a high school student. Countless other young people receive similar inspiration from this event each year.
