Baton Rouge – On Saturday Jan. 22, pro-life citizens from across the state will gather for the first-ever Louisiana Life March, designed to commemorate the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states.
Based on bus rentals for the event and personal contacts with local area pastors, organizers anticipate more than 1,000 participants.
The Louisiana Baptist Convention joins a coalition of organizations to promote the event, including Louisiana Right to Life, Louisiana Family Forum, Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Life and Justice Committee, the Louisiana Knights of Columbus, and the Concerned Women for America.
