Crowds brave chilly temperatures to march for life in Baton Rouge

January 23, 2016

By Mark H. Hunter, Regional reporter

An estimated crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 attending the 6th annual Louisiana Life March South, walked five blocks through downtown Baton Rouge on Saturday from the Old State Capitol to the new Capitol building.

A bright, sunny day belied a bitter wind that howled through the canyons between the tall buildings chilling participants but they soon warmed up at the Capitol steps where speakers, including Tommy Middleton, Baptist Association of Greater Baton Rouge Director of Missions, encouraged the crowd to stay involved in pro-life issues.

Marchers give a voice to the 10,000 innocent children aborted each year in our state.
