WASHINGTON, January 21, 2002 (LSN.ca) – “The 29th Annual March for Life begins at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2002,” Nellie Gray, president, March for Life Fund, announced today. She said thousands of pro-life Americans will rally at the Washington Monument for a program, and then March for Life along Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court and Congress. Many Canadian pro-lifers are also attending the March for Life.

“We have invited President Bush,” she said. “We pledge support to stop the home-grown terrorism of intentionally killing an estimated 4,000 preborn children in our country each day.” Speakers at the rally include Senators Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and Bob Smith (R-N.H.) and representatives Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), Todd Tiahart (R-Kan.), Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), Jim Ryun (R-Kan.), John Shimkus (R-Ill.) Melissa Hart (R-Pa.), Mike Pence (R-Ind.).

The theme of this 29th annual March for Life is “Truth Uncovers Abortion Evils.” According to the group, the theme points out that feminists/abortionists have obscured abortion evils with a deceitful vocabulary to try to make intentional killing of preborn humans appear as if it were a ‘right choice, and healthy.’ The theme asks: “where are the bodies of 4,000 preborn humans killed each day behind closed doors?”
