Reflection upon the most disastrous Supreme Court case in American history, and the pain and suffering it has left behind. Action, to raise awareness for the daily tragedy of abortion, to stand in solidarity with the millions of Americans who oppose Roe vs. Wade and work to end its tragic legacy, and to educate those who remain uninformed of its ongoing effects.

Here in Washington, we will be showing up for the March for Life on the National Mall, and a good two-hundred thousand are expected to attend. If you happen to be in town, please stop by. NRLC will set up a table near the corner of Madison and 7th Street, and will be giving out free signs, stickers, petitions, and hot chocolate, to stave off the cold. Come join us, and several hundred thousand like-minded individuals.

If you’re not able to come to Washington, don’t think you have to stay at home. The National March for Life is only one of thousands of pro-life events held annually to remember Roe and its victims. You may already know of or be participating in a local event in your area. If not, you can go to NRLC’s State Affiliates page to find your State Right to Life group and see what they’re up to.

If, on the off chance, there is nothing scheduled in your area this weekend, there are a few other things you can do if you’re interested:

1. Consider asking a local church about holding an event, such as a memorial service or prayer group meeting. NRLC offers bulletin inserts for churches.

2. Run a petition drive. You can download a printable copy of NRLC’s “Stop the Obama Abortion Agenda” petition from the “Downloads” tab at the top of this page. Sign it, and ask your friends, relatives, coworkers, or members of your church to sign it as well.

3. Take a look at a new video on fetal development called “A Baby’s First Months…Infinite Possibilities.” It’s high quality, professionally made video on growth of the unborn child in the womb, something worth pondering as we remember what Roe means. You can see the YouTube trailer and order the DVD at www.ababysfirstmonths.com

4. Start a pro-life contact list. You know many pro-lifers, even if you think you don’t. Consider sending around pro-life articles via e-mail or Facebook. Starting a contact list can let you quickly alert everyone you know in the event of important action alerts (congressional votes, local or national news, etc.)

5. Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper on the meaning of Roe, or keep an eye out for online news. The mainstream media likes to downplay the number of active pro-lifers; you can leave a (tasteful and polite) comment on news articles which don’t quite “get it.”

6. If you’re on Facebook, just leave a status update on Friday in memory of the victims of abortion, or link to pro-life news.

If you’d like more information on any of these ideas, go ahead and comment or send us an e-mail. If you do something this weekend, please go ahead and let us know, it’s always encouraging to see what pro-lifers are up to.
