The 48th Annual March for Life is set for 2 p.m., Jan. 18, along Capitol 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 babies lost due to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States on January 22, 1973. Arkansas was recently named the most pro-life state in the nation for the 6th consecutive year by Americans United for Life.
“The annual March for Life is a day of remembrance of the tens of thousands of unborn Arkansans who died as a result of legalized abortion in the state, as well as a celebration of the victories that continue to be made in Arkansas to protect innocent life,” said Amber Singleton, executive director of Arkansas Right to Life. “Sadly, lives continue to be lost today due to the illegal use of the abortion pill, as well as in many states nationwide where abortion is still legal. The danger of the abortion pill is real, and we are excited to be hearing from Cathrine Pressly Herring, who will share her story about unknowingly being given the pill and the consequences that followed.”
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 Herring, who will speak on the dangers of the abortion pill, which is now used in a majority of legal (and illegal) abortions in the United States.
