Despite Barack Obama's inside circle telling national television audiences the 44th U.S. President plans to sign several executive orders the first day in office to wipe out years of pro-life efforts, persistent pro-life advocates are planning to "March for Life" in Washington DC two days later.
The 36th annual gathering will focus on the theme "Remember -- the Life Principles means "Equal Care" without exceptions!" Activities begin the day after the Inauguration and continue through Saturday.
Several area groups are planning bus trips to the DC March for Life: The Chicago Archdiocese Respect Life office (312-751-5355), Illiana Right to Life (219) 365-7064, as well as Joliet Diocese's Bishop Sartain bus trip (www.dioceseofjoliet.org/life).
