  WASHINGTON, D.C., January 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The annual March for Life activities begin this Saturday. The series of events culminate in the giant March for Life starting from the Mall very near the White House, and which then goes up Constitution Ave and ends at Capital Hill in front of the Supreme Court which was responsible for the judicial activist Roe v. Wade decision.

  Following are links to various sites that list details of the activities from Saturday to Monday, the day of the actual March.

  The largest events are the National Vigil for Life mass at the huge Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday evening, the Rally for Life at the Verizon Centre (formerly MCI stadium) on Monday morning and then the March which follows soon after the Rally for Life.

  For those unable to attend, some of the major events can be viewed live on EWTN TV which normally provides extensive coverage of the March for Life and related activities.

  LifeSiteNews Editor John-Henry Westen and Managing Director Steve Jalsevac will be in Washington for the March for Life activities.
