Saturday's international pro-family conference will be followed by the 5th annual March for Life Rome, which will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 10 at Castel Sant’Angelo.

“The March for Life is a sign that there are people who have not given up hope and want the rights of those who have no voice to prevail over the logic of utilitarianism, exasperated individualism, and a notion of law that allows the rights of the weak and innocent to be victimized,” the March organizers state.

They point out that “the initiative is neither a political demonstration, nor a religious procession; it is a rally for Life,” which aims to “affirm the sanctity of human life and therefore its absolute inviolability from its conception to its natural death, without exception, condition, nor compromise.”
