Port Huron, MI — The local March for Life was held this past Sunday, with 125 pro-life activists carrying signs and marching along Pine Grove Avenue in Port Huron.
The activists hoped to make their viewpoints known to passers-by and to draw attention to the pro-life cause on the weekend of the 48th anniversary of the passing of Roe vs. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States. The March was organized by the St. Clair County Right to Life, which is an affiliate of Right to Life of Michigan.
After the March down Pine Grove, the local pro-lifers held a community prayer service at St. Mary Catholic Church in Port Huron, led by Deacon John Fitzmaurice and Reverend Tom Seppo.
Members of the St. Clair County Right to Life group, along with pro-life youth from the region, have a tradition of attending the national March for Life in Washington, D.C., but like most other large gatherings, this year’s National March has been drastically scaled back due to COVID-19 fears. The usual buses full of hundreds of thousands of Marchers from all over the country will sit idle this year, as the March will be held virtually on Friday, January 29th.
A Michigan March for Life is scheduled to be held in Lansing on Wednesday, January 27th.
