Michigan remembers, mourns Roe vs. Wade

Michigan's prolife resolve was evident from January 13th through January 27th. Hundreds of prolife communities participated in more than 30 prolife events hosted by Right to Life of Michigan affiliates. Prolife citizens gathered to remember, mourn and pray for the more than 40 million unborn children who have lost their lives to abortion since 1973. The citizens of Michigan came out by the thousands to participate in prayer vigils, memorial services, concerts, candle-light walks, marches, motorcades and rallies to recognize the tragedy of the 29th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Full-page newspaper ads were also part of the commemoration in Michigan bringing public awareness to the sanctity of human life.

In this time of mourning and hope, Michigan's prolife people of all ages, races, and creeds, from Bad Axe to Wyandotte, took a stand for those who cannot protect themselves. Right to Life of Michigan affiliates also sent 6 bus loads of people to the March for Life in Washington, D.C.

Right to Life of Michigan President Barbara Listing said, "As President George W. Bush works to develop a culture of life in the United States, we are doing all we can to bring attention to the humanity of the unborn in Michigan. We will peacefully continue to provide women and families with life-affirming options when faced with an unplanned pregnancy."
