Continue to pray for a positive impact from this year’s March for Life.
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Gen 1:27)
“Tens of thousands of pro-life supporters descended on the nation’s capital [last] Friday for the 45th annual March for Life—hoping positive rhetoric leads to action to protect the unborn.
This year’s march marked the first time a sitting president has addressed the event live. President Donald Trump, along with Vice President Mike Pence, delivered an uplifting message via a live-streamed video from the Rose Garden touting the administration’s commitment to restrict abortion and protect the consciences of those who don’t want to participate in the practice.
A year ago, pro-life groups anticipated a historic season to advance pro-life policies with a friendly White House and a Congress sympathetic to their cause. Twelve months later, many agenda items remain on the to-do list, but that hasn’t soured expectations for 2018.
“The March for Life is a movement born out of love,” Trump said. “We are with you all the way.”
Peg Howson, from Massachusetts, cheered as she watched Trump deliver his prepared remarks. She was a junior in high school when she attended the first march in 1974: “It was much smaller back then,” Howson said with a laugh.
That first March for Life started as a small demonstration to protest the Roe v. Wade decision and has grown into the largest annual pro-life event in the world….
For many march attendees, the Trump administration has brought hope for 2018 and years to come—a sharp turnaround from the previous White House.
“I was pro-life even before I even knew what it meant,” Maureen Trettel from Boston claimed. She now volunteers in a crisis pregnancy center and said simply having a White House that acknowledges the pro-life movement makes all the difference to raise awareness: “The majority of this country is pro-life, and they just need to see more of the truth to shut down abortion.”…
“[Pastor Bill] Peters told me many of his evangelical friends turned their backs on Trump because of the president’s brash style and colored past, but he’s remained supportive for one reason: ‘The proof is in what he does and not the sometimes awkward words that he uses.’” (Excerpts from Evan Wilt’s article in WORLD Magazine)

Lord, thank you for answering my prayer for the “Silent no More” women, who were not allowed to participate in the Women’s march because they are against abortion, and yet they are not women of faith who would feel at home with church people. Yet this year i saw their “I regret my abortion” signs in the March for Life. Lord, i pray these women would find their peace with the Prince of Peace, that their on going torment would bring them to a relationship with Jesus who has been holding their child since the day of their abortion.
Thank you Lord for the good coverage that Fox News gave of the March, and especially for the Presidents attendance. We continue to pray for the passage of the ‘Pain Act” in the Senate. We also ask favor for the ‘Heartbeat Bill”. We ask that you would protect all Crisis Pregnancy Centers from losing their liberties. We pray for success for ACLJ and their pro life cases that are before the Supreme Court, give them the funds they need to prosecute Planned Parenthood, and may the Supreme Court rule in favor of Life. In Jesus name, Amen
I pray that this campaign is picked up and promoted by celebrities, national & global figures. I pray the USA opens a flood gate of blessings for waving the banner for the right to life. I pray our countries eyes open to tragedies and sufferages from the losses of unborn life, in the name of Jesus, amen.
