Please say a little prayer for the good health of all the Marchers today and for mothers who are contemplating abortion.

Today we march for those who can not. This American genocide, which has claimed the lives of an estimated 50 million babies in the womb since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 has continued to tear our country apart. Just this year over 850,000 abortions were committed.

President Trump, keeping to his promises, has selected 2 Pro Life Supreme Court Justices during his tenor and we pray that he will be able to select another. That way this perversion of a law can be sent back to the states for debate.

We are expecting over 500,000 to March today. Hopefully we get a tweet or two from our President in support!

Not a fan of abortion.

Only on special circumstances.

Here with a group from St. Michael's and MBS.
It's been a wonderful week. My heart has been lifted by the sight of so many of our youth and the depth of their faith.
The March is today from mid day to afternoon. Please pray for us and our mission of faith and glory to God.
After all, He wins in the end!

And if it is covered at all by the MSM it will be mocked and rebutted by the holy-abortionists.

Get 12 people protesting a conservative and you get wall to wall coverage and fawning support from the MSM.

in short, a pregnancy should not cause death to the mother - something that happened all too often in earlier ages.

To say = "no abortion under any circumstances' is equivalent to saying "no vaccinations"

We live in an imperfect world - you will have to die to enter whatever perfect world your beliefs define.

We have to actually make deals with what we may personally find to be evil in order to survive and accomplish all the other good that we can on earth.

I personally oppose abortion as a 'convenience' - I do support abortion for cases of real danger to a mother's life or health. I do not object to abortion for reasons of rape or incest - if that action is taken at earliest possible opportunity.

I actually support abortion in cases of known severe handicaps in the fetus. - but that opens up another whole field of where to draw the line. I actually support abortion when the decision is made ASAP after knowledge of pregnancy (sort of a delayed contraception)

I absolutely hate the idea of abortion for any reason after the fetus becomes a viable being, capable of surviving outside the womb with minimal medical attendance. To me this is equivalent to murder. Unacceptable.

I absolutely hate the concept of abortion for the exclusive reason of 'I've changed my mind" or "It would be inconvenient"

1. I disagree with the absolutists at each end of the abortion spectrum, while supporting abortion rights early in pregnancy. (edit: much like Bandit)

2. I respect your dedication to your cause and hope that your March is completed without incident.

3. Kudos for participating in the political conversation in a productive way.

I appreciate your respect on this topic.

Your points are still a matter of convenience: mothers life in danger, inconvenience of rape and incest etc.

Your fundamental values are flawed and you are working from circumstance to values. You should always think from value to circumstance.

A woman has a special purpose on this Earth to have and nurture children. That is her most natural and true calling. That being said, regardless of circumstance a child is a gift and sadly our culture recognizes them as a burden.

I do agree that there are not enough resources and support for mothers that deal with the trauma of rape, incest etch Howewer, that makes up less than 2% of all abortions.

Adoption should be more easily available and better funded by the government. That is the turn our society needs to make.

There are a very few cases where medically necessary treatments may cause a pregnancy to terminate, and there are even fewer that require the destruction of the baby.

Outside of ectopic pregnancies, which have 0 viability, and will kill the mother if not addressed abortion to save the mother's life is just a lie. Even in the case of ectopics, they are not even considered abortion as much as an effect of the treatment.

Or as deceased Surgeon General C Everett Coup put it
quote:

"Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my 36 years of pediatric surgery, I have never known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother's life. If toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother's health, the doctor will induce labor or perform a Caesarean section. His intention is to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby's life is never willfully destroyed because the mother's life is in danger."
