Virtual March for Life

Americans United for Life has come up with a way for people who can't get to Washington, DC for the annual March for Life a way to make their voice heard. AUL is sponsoring the first-ever Virtual March for Life.

According to Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President & CEO of AUL, every year the March for Life "has literally brought millions of people to our nation's Capital over the years, but millions more have been unable to take part and stand for life. Until today.

With a health care bill that includes taxpayer funding for abortion hanging in the balance, this is an important, historic moment to get the attention of politicians in Washington. In this critical moment, every American must be heard regardless of where you are. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are coming to Washington, DC to join the most important March for Life in history, and you can be there through the Virtual March for Life."

AUL hope is to show elected officials, through the virtual march, just how many pro-life advocates oppose the health care bill because of the massive funding contained in the Senate version and expected in the final version of the bill.

Yoest added: "So much is at stake in this moment. How many more lives will be lost if the Congressional majority rolls back existing law that protects life and protects us from having our tax dollars used to fund abortion? Please stand and be counted among those who are marching for life and please ask everyone you know that doesn’t want their tax dollars to fund abortion to join us."

While the news media has tended to downplay the numbers attending it its national reports, the members of Congress see the actual numbers. I'll admit this doesn't take the place of actually being there, but it is a way for us to add our voices to those that can make it. & while some Democratic members won't change their mind no matter what, it may make a few pause & decide not to go along with the final version of ObamaCare, esp if Coakley loses in Massachusetts on Tuesday. & that just might be enough to stop it.
