47th Annual March for Life

The 47^th Annual March for Life is set for 2 p.m., Jan. 19, along Capital Avenue to the steps of the Arkansas State Capitol.

This observance is a peaceful and prayerful event that attracts thousands of Arkansans from across the state, including churches and families, to remember the estimated 60-plus million unborn children killed by legal abortion.

The event, sponsored by Arkansas Right to Life, will remember the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States on Jan. 22, 1973. Arkansas has recently been named the most pro-life state in the nation for the fifth consecutive year by Americans United for Life.

“Arkansas continues to march and remember the unborn children who were killed by legal abortion in our state during the 49½ years of Roe v. Wade and mourn the loss of life by those who obtain abortions in our state illegally and in other states who do no not protect the innocent unborn and their mothers,” said Rose Mimms, executive director of Arkansas Right to Life. “We will tirelessly work to support pregnant mothers and save unborn children from those who demand unlimited and unregulated abortion regardless of the consequences to mothers, fathers, and families.”

Staging for the march begins at 1:30 p.m. at State Street. At 2 p.m., marchers and elected officials, dignitaries and other special guests will walk to the steps of the State Capitol for a brief program featuring abortion survivor Lauren Eden, Keynote Speaker Rev. Jim Lagrone and Father Mauricio Carrasco.
