Paul Greenberg to Speak At March for Life

Arkansas Right to Life will have its annual March for Life next Sunday, January 20 at 2:00 pm at the State Capitol.  The events marks the 40th anniversary of the 1973 U.S Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in all 50 states.  The march is a peace protest against legalized abortion and concludes with a rally on the capitol steps.

“Forty years of legal abortion and we still march, and we will never stop marching until legal abortion is no more. Millions of unborn human lives lost and women still hurting, that is the legacy of legal abortion,” said Rose Mimms, Executive Director of Arkansas Right to Life.

This year Paul Greenberg, Editorial Page Editor for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, will be the featured speaker.  Greenberg wrote a fine column for Town Hall recently on how he became pro-life. Guests will include many elected federal and state elected officials.

One key note is that the march will follow a slightly different route.  It will begin at West Capitol and Battery Street behind the state capitol and will march around the capitol grounds to the front steps.  In the past, the march began at Louisiana and Capitol Street so make sure you show up at the right place if you are going.

Arkansas Right to Life plans to push for three key legislative proposals in the upcoming session including legislation that will prohibit abortion coverage in healthcare exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act, that will ban the use of webcam abortions, and ban abortions on unborn children capable of feeling pain.
