March for Life a great success

Several thousand pro-life Washington State March for Life participants gathered from across the state recognizing the 40th Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court 1973 abortion decision, which legalized abortion in America. The awesome crowd filled the Capitol and judicial building steps. It was the 35th year for the Olympia event. Over 55 million abortions have taken place in the U.S. since 1973.

Thank you pro-life legislators! Thanks to everyone who went to Olympia on Jan. 22 to support life!

Please contact your legislators to vote no on SB5009 reproductive parity act — abortion mandate; vote yes on SB5156 and HB1257 parental notification; yes on HB1259 life begins at conception. According to Human Life of Washington poll, 65 percent Washingtonians support parental notification.
