On January 22, 2014 some students and faculty for Saint John Vianney will be attending the March for Life in Washington D.C. This peaceful event held in remembrance of the Roe vs Wade case that allowed all 50 states to let women abort their unborn child. Nellie Gray founded this event a year after the case ended and began with 30 people planned in her own home, but has grown to thousands over the many years this protest continued. Gray passed away in 2012, but was remembered at the 40^th anniversary of the rally.

The reason for the rally and the march is so an unborn child has a voice and is listened to. Catholics believe that any woman that aborts a child is killing a life. If she does not want the baby, they suggest having the baby and giving it up for adoption. Some Catholics say that “A life is a life, no matter how small.”

The route for this year’s march will be down Constitution Avenue from the March for Life rally site on the National Mall to the U.S. Supreme Court House on Capitol Hill. The rally will be before the march to get the crowd excited. The people who march are fighting for the same thing, to let everyone know that they believe in life from the moment of conception.
