OTTAWA, June 7, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Campaign Life Coalition, the organizer of last month’s National March for Life in Ottawa, has limited its June newsletter exclusively to coverage of the highly successful March events. The newsletter includes far more than the usual number of photographs. See the complete newsletter at http://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/national_news/2007/news_0607.html

The Interim newspaper has also produced an extensive March for Life photo report which will be on line soon at http://www.theinterim.com/2007/june/09marchforlife.html.

To complement the CLC newsletter release LifeSiteNews has also published today a four page photo report with 50 photos from the March and related activities. See this special section which begins at http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007_docs/2007OttawaMFLphotos.htm

In his letter accompanying the June CLC National News, national president Jim Hughes states, “The entire event – from prayer vigils and services, to the Parliament Hill rally, the March, Silent No More witness, Rose Dinner and Youth Conference – was an outstanding success. We have never before heard so many compliments, expressions of gratitude and determination to bring along more participants next year.”

The large number of youths was the most notable aspect of the March. Hughes states, “:I guesstimate that 4,500 of the pro-lifers who attended the March for Life and related events were under 25 years of age.”
