Despite the June 24 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that there is no right to abortion found in the U.S. Constitution — overturning 1973’s Roe v. Wade — the pro-life community is not sitting still. Advocates for the unborn and their mothers and fathers know that challenges continue, including in Minnesota, where abortion remains legal.
Two time-honored marches attended by large numbers of people from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis will continue to take place later this month: one Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C., and one in St. Paul Jan. 22.
Jan. 20: 50th March for Life in Washington, D.C.
About 180 people, including 140 high school students and young adults, are preparing to journey on four chartered buses to our nation’s capital for the annual March for Life. Thirteen seminarians from The St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul will be on board to serve as group leaders for the young people and gain insight into youth and youth ministry, which can help their future outreach at parishes, said Madeline Larson, assistant marriage preparation and youth ministry coordinator for the archdiocese’s Office of Marriage, Family and Life.
