A Look at the 51st March for Life & Who Attended | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In freezing temperatures and falling snow, thousands marched. Though Roe v Wade was struck down almost 2 years ago at the Supreme Court, abortions continue around the country with the support of state laws, and a culture that doesn't respect life in all its stages. The streets in the nation's capital on Friday were packed, filled with thousands of people from all over the US, some shared international perspective. Sr. Catherine Okoye is a member of the Sisters of Jesus the Good Shepherd congregation, a religious congregation founded in Nigeria. She says in her home country abortion is widely opposed. Sr. Catherine Okoye says, "Everybody is protesting against killing kids in the womb, you cannot go anywhere freely to say I want to kill my child in the womb, no my culture does not permit that." Bishop Burbidge says the truth about life should never be compromised, and as people return to their homes from the annual march, he hopes they will continue to share a pro-life message. He says the way it is shared will make a difference. Correspondent Mark Irons reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
