DEAR MARCHER ,
By participating in the March for Life , you are part of a historic movement which began 49 years ago by a young woman named Nellie Gray . On January 22 , 1973 , the United States Supreme Court issued its decisions in Roe v . Wade and Doe v . Bolton , which legalized abortion on demand in the United States . Nellie and other pro-life Americans gathered at the U . S . Capitol a year later to demand Congress reverse those decisions and protect unborn lives . Forty-nine years later , we are still marching .
SO WHY DO WE MARCH ?
• We march to remember the 61 million little girls and boys that have been denied life because of abortion .
• We march to demand legislative action to protect every life .
• We march to revive a culture of life across our country .
• We march to share the truth that abortion harms women physically and psychologically .
• We march to share the truth that there is hope after abortion .
• We march because each and every life is a gift .
• We march to be a voice for the voiceless .
• We march to end abortion .
The March for Life is a vitally important moment of unity and action for the pro-life movement . Every marcher brings us one step closer to ending abortion . Thank you for joining the most worthy cause of our time .
Thank you for marching for life !
Sincerely ,
Jeanne Mancini President , March for Life
