WASHINGTON, D.C. - Although Roe v. Wade has been overturned, Jan. 22, 1973 is a day that will live in infamy.
On that day, seven unelected men approved abortion throughout pregnancy and for any reason, leading to the murder of some 65 million children and the wounding of millions of mothers and fathers who underwent abortion.
Tomorrow, the 52nd anniversary of that tragic Supreme Court decision, Priests for Life, Faith & Liberty, the Christian Defense Coalition and Stanton Health International will host a prayer vigil outside the courthouse beginning at 12 noon.
The vigil will memorialize the children who were victims of the Roe decision and pray for those who have been physically or emotionally harmed by abortion.
Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone, Executive Director Janet Morana and Bryan Kemper, coordinator of street activism, will gather with other pro-life leaders and women and men from Silent No More to offer prayers and to lay flowers on the steps of the court.
For an overview of what Priests for Life and its related ministries are doing both at the March for Life and at the Walk for Life West Coast, see www.ProLifeMarch.org.
To arrange an interview before or after the event, contact Leslie Palma, Priests for Life communications director, at media@priestsforlife.org or 917-697-7039.
