Pennsylvania State March for Life

There was a great turnout for the PA March for Life on Monday, October 16. The speakers made some outstanding points:

• From Dr. Kendra Kolb,a Neonatologist: A baby can suck its thumb as early as 7 weeks; it feels pain at 15 weeks; and outside the womb, babies can survive at 22 weeks with medical assistance. Current PA law allows abortion up to 24 weeks.
• 47 out of 50 European countries limit abortion at 15 weeks.
• One couple showed great appreciation for a Harrisburg area Pregnancy Center that they said gave them a “hand-up and not a hand-out." The father said he had a major turnaround in accepting his responsibility after being invited to a Pizza night with men in similar situations. The couple held their baby during their speeches. This pregnancy center is set to lose funding with Governor Shapiro’s termination of state funding for pro-life pregnancy centers.  

We encourage everyone to continue to speak up and support legislators who are pro-life.
