| The March for Life |
|
In Washington D.C., 33 years ago,
Roe vs. Wade resulted in allowing abortion to be legalized in the
United States. Abortion, by law was allowed to be performed during
anytime of the pregnancy.
33 years later, I went to
Washington D.C. to fight against this mistake made so long ago. Our pilgrimage
was led by Fr. Kidwell and Fr. Willy Garcia-Tunon. We started off the
time in Washington with a visit to the Holocaust Museum. For me it was
a great experience because I was able to compare the mass killings in
Germany during WWII and the mass killings during the present moment
with abortions.
The March itself was amazing, just seeing the amount of people and the different posters that all the Pro-Lifers made was a surprise to me.
The one thing that really opened my
eyes was when I fought my way into a crowd of people, who happened to
be pro-choicers surrounded by pro-lifers. I just stood there in
silence and tried to absorb what was around me. I would strongly
recommend it to anyone that could take a few shoves and pushes.
In the end I was happy to return
and have my faith opened even more and allow different experiences
strengthen my connection with God. I thank Him for making it possible
for me to go on that trip.
