Matthew and I were blessed to be able to participate in Tucson's March for Life this weekend. The dignity of each human is something that has always been important to both of us. It was interesting to reflect on how this March differed compared to the one we participated in last year in Dallas, and where we were in life just a year ago...with Matthew applying at different schools, us giving a pro-life testimony prior to the Dallas March to the youth group, and living in Dallas. Here we are in Tucson, just a year later...having experienced many things since then...and looking forward to what God has in store for our future. See below for pics. We continue to pray for an end to abortion and seek ways in which we can do our share to make that happen.

| Before the March. |
 |
| The Cathedral where the March started. |
 |
| The March. |
 |
| The Rose memorial for the victims of abortion. We marched four miles from the Cathedral to the Cemetery where this is located. |
 |
| The Bishop speaking. |
 |
| The Knights of Columbus. |
 |
| For each year that abortion has been legal, a person (representing the year they were born) carried a rose and placed it on this memorial representing all of the lives that have been lost due to abortion. I believe this little boy represented 2006. |
 |
| It is hard to see from this view, but the two adults in this picture have a 1 year old and a newborn (being carried) , representing 2011 and 2012. |
 |
| At the end, they let out a flock of doves. This was very neat to watch, as they symbolize the hope that one day abortion will end, as minds and hearts are changed. |
Thanks for sharing this experience! I am hoping science will continue to uncover the truth. Remember the awesome exhibit in Portland? :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe if we had transparent tummies we would have more realization of the little lives inside.
I will never forget the awesome exhibit in Portland!
DeleteWhat a great thought on transparent tummies =).
