Due to weather or travel problems, many of the
people who planned on sharing their testimony at the March for Life in
Washington DC in January 2016 were unable to attend. The testimony
below is what they had planned on sharing at the event.
I March because my Uncle George died in the Korean War for my freedom.
I March because in 1973, when the Roe v. Wade decision was handed down, I had no idea it would soon affect my life.
I March because at 17, I was pregnant and scared
I March because if abortion was not legal in 1975, my parents would not have chosen it as an option for me.
I March because I cannot give voice to the horror of my child burning in my body.
I March because I can still hear the screaming and cursing of young girls in labor giving birth to Death.
I
March because I delivered a dead baby boy in August of 1975, in a cold
metal bed pan, alone. I baptized him with my tears as we lay together,
while the night nurse talked on the phone.
I March because when I
returned home, my mother’s face and tears told me that she had no idea
that a saline abortion meant labor, delivery, and Death. Her tears and
the prayers of the Church are what kept me from taking my own life.
I
March because I know that I was not alone in my holocaust. At least 20
other young women, ages 16 to 18, were also there for those three days.
Their parents, all law-abiding citizens, who would never have chosen
abortion if it had been illegal.
I March because I know firsthand the suffering that murder in the womb causes.
I March because so many of you have marched for me when my heart was laden, and I could not lift my feet.
I March because I love my parents and I do not want the death of my Uncle George and my baby to be in vain.
