The 1.7 mile March for Life begins at Broadway and MLK Jr. Blvd and concludes at Pioneer Courthouse Square in Downtown Portland. Portland Police will provide an escort for the March on Broadway. Marchers will begin meeting at 12:00 pm at Broadway and MLK (next to Holy Rosary Parish). The actual march will start at 12:30 pm and will end around 1:30 at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The rally will start at 2:00pm. Last year there were an estimated 7000 people at the rally, Oregon’s largest ever pro-life gathering, and the hope is that there will be 10,000+ this year.

  2. What have you done to prevent the need for abortion?

  3. Implicit in your comment is a suggestion that there is a 'need' for abortion, and that it 'solves a problem'. I do not accept this argument anymore than I would accept that plantation owners 'need for cheap labor' necessitated slavery in our country's early history. So, I am curious what problem you believe necessitates abortion as a solution? I may be wrong, but it seems that also implicit in your question is a hint that those who oppose abortion may do little or nothing for those who find themselves in situations which lead to making the tragic choice of abortion, in other word they may be heartless in denying the 'right to terminate the life within them to solve a problem'. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I urge you to meet the workers at Birthright, The Mother and Child Education Center, The Pregnancy Resource Centers, Rachael's Vineyard, Silent No More, and the countless other organizations whose missions are to truly help these very women in difficult situations, before and after the decision of abortion. You will find that the people who work in and support these organizations are overwhelmingly pro-life. Women certainly do not get this type of honest loving help at Planned Parenthood, a billion dollar a year industry. I hope this helps answer your question, and I hope you too in some way have a commitment to truly help these mothers to be who are in very difficult situations. Encouraging them to have an abortion does not help them, just look at any study on the long term health effect of abortion.
