Pro-Life Coloradans: Let’s March for Life
Focus on the Family invites our pro-life friends to join us Friday, April 11, as we march for life at the state capital in Denver.
National March for Life is partnering with Pro-Life Colorado to host the second annual joint Colorado march for life to promote pro-life values in the state.
The rally and the march aim to promote life-affirming values in our state.
It’s a family-friendly event, so plan on bringing your kids and show them what it means to peacefully advocate for life.
The day will kick off with a pre-rally concert at 10 a.m., followed by an hour-long rally on the steps of the Capitol and the march at 12 p.m.
Participants will march about one mile around the capitol complex.
Marchers are encouraged to bring homemade signs that communicate their pro-life values. For sign inspiration, click here.
Speakers at the rally will include:
- Jennie Bradley-Lichter, president, National March for Life
- Dr. Marcus Button and Mrs. Jennifer Button, Button Family Practice
- Rep. Rebecca Keltie, Colorado House of Representatives – District 16
- Rich Bennett, Life Network
- Beverly Jacobson, Mama Bear Care
- Tamra Axworthy, ACPC Life Services & Women’s Clinic
- Lauren Castillo, director of Mission Advancement & External Relations, Bella Health + Wellness
- Bishop Jorge Rodriguez, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Denver
- Rev. James Maxwell, district president, Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod
This year, the call to action is to encourage state legislators and the governor to oppose SB 25-183, which would require the state to cover abortion as part of its Medicaid services and force Colorado taxpayers to spend millions of their tax dollars every year funding abortions against their conscience.
As reported by the Daily Citizen, the bill captured the attention of the nation this past month when a pro-abortion lawmaker gave testimony arguing it’s cheaper for the state to pay for abortions than pay for a baby to be born.
The measure is currently being considered by the state General Assembly.
Many pro-life organizations will have tables at the event, and mobile ultrasound units will also be open for tours.
Focus on the Family will have a table at the event, so please stop by and say hello.
