Hundreds of pro-lifers from across the state gathered on the steps of the State Capitol in Madison on September 24 at the Wisconsin March for Life to celebrate a victory and to declare their battle not over yet.

Proclaim life at March for Life Wisconsin
March for Life in Washington, D.C., continues for 47 years
To the editor:
January 24, 2020, marked the 47th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. The theme was “Pro Life Is Pro Woman.”
After the March for Life — keep working!
In the more than 30 annual Washington, D.C., Marches for Life I have participated in, I always think the current march is the largest ever. But since accurate figures are hard to come by, it usually comes down to taking a good guess.
Weather doesn’t stop those marching for life in Madison
In both years that a march for life has returned to Madison, providing a witness to an end to abortion and respect for life at all stages, weather has been part of the story, but certainly not the full story.
Science supports pro-life cause
Being pro-life is not in opposition to science, as some people may think. It is quite the opposite, in fact.
That’s what organizers of the annual March for Life being held in Washington, D.C., assert on their website (https://marchforlife.org) in discussing the theme of this year’s event, “Unique from Day One.”
March for Life returns to Madison
Rain or shine, life is precious and a gift from God.
More than 500 people were probably reflecting on that as they marched from St. Patrick Church in Madison to the State Capitol on January 22 — the 45th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion at all stages of pregnancy in all 50 states.
Annual March for Life takes place in Chicago
Hand warmers? Check.
Multiple layers of clothing? Check.
Pro-life signs? Check.
Love? Double check.
Keep working to give life a chance
One of the first events I covered for the Catholic Herald was a pro-life rally held at the state Capitol on January 22, 1974.
It was held one year after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
I went back and read that article, which noted that many people attending the rally wore buttons which said, “Give Life a Chance.”
What about mourning lives lost by abortion?
News media reported that world leaders — including Muslim and Jewish statesmen — linked arms on January 11 to lead more than a million French citizens through Paris in an unprecedented march to pay tribute to victims of Islamist militant attacks.
Commentators said the last time crowds of this size filled the streets of the capital was at the liberation of Paris from Nazi Germany in 1944.
While we mourn the tragic deaths in Paris — including the journalists and police who were killed there — I also find it ironic that over one billion unborn children have been killed in the world since 1980 and over 57 million unborn children have died in the United States by abortion since 1973.
Do we have a tremendous outcry about these lives lost? Do we mourn the deaths of these unborn babies?
