Pro-Lifers Show Up Big at Nationwide Walks for Life Despite COVID Restrictions by NADIA JOY SCHULT for Charisma News
Each year the March for Life gathers pro-life supporters from across the country to stand against abortion. This year, even amid social distancing, and the primary March for Life in Washington, D.C, going virtual on Jan. 29, Christ-followers still found a way to stand up strong for the unborn.
In lieu of the thousands who would normally march on the National Mall, cities across the U.S. held their own Walks for Life.
West Coast Walk for Life
Now is your chance to support Gospel News Network.
We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Of the San Francisco Walk for Life West Coast on Jan. 23, Walk co-chair Eva Muntean said, “I guess by now I should know better than to sell the commitment of pro-lifers short. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.”
Midwest Walk for Life
The Walk for Life in Chicago, Illinois, featured a procession of over 600 cars, with families cheering on street corners as the pro-life parade moved throughout the city. According to a news release, participants also donated tens of thousands of diapers to a local pregnancy resource center.
But this was just the last stop and culmination of a month-long pro-life tour across the Midwest.
Leading up to the Jan. 23 cavalcade, this “Moving the Movement Tour” garnered the support of over 8,000 pro-lifers watching on the livestream and driving across the country.
“We see that now it is more important than ever to be openly pro-life,” declared student leader of March for Life Chicago presenter, weDignify’s Margaret Pluta, “because the opposition is loud. The disregard for life in the womb is popular, and the voices of the unborn are faint—and we need to be their voice.”
She challenged pro-lifers of all ages to “Take advantage of every opportunity; be bold in your pro-life identity and take courage in the fact that you are not alone in this movement.”
