January 22nd marked the tragic 36th anniversary of the legalization of abortion through Roe vs. Wade. Since then, faithful Pro-Lifers have continued to observe the anniversary by marching in Washington, D.C. I had the honor of attending the March from ’95-’99. Quite an uplifting experience then, and it blows me away to know even MORE people come to the March every year.
Sadly, our blatantly biased media never covers the March. A virtual media blackout, save a few spots on CNN and the ever-faithful EWTN. A blogger named Barbara has posted an impressive photo album of the March. You’ll notice that the majority of the crowd are youth. I am always inspired to see teens & young adults boldly standing up for their lost generation.
The only problem with the March was its far location on the East Coast. Well, a few years ago Pro-Lifers organized in California the West Coast March for Life. Every year the number of marchers increase. What makes West Coast March particularly challenging is that it takes place in San Francisco, a city who officially declared itself a “Pro-Choice City.” Talk about taking a courageous stand. I send many prayers and shout-outs to my friends & family marching in San Francisco today.

We were in San Francisco this weekend, and the march was bigger than ever. The San Francisco Chronicle did write about it on the local section page, but the photos did not show the magnitude of the crowd. God hears us, even when the odds seem so remote. We changed hearts that day, but we will never know whose.
