Illinois pro-life rally, march and lobby day draws hundreds to Springfield
In a state that has increasingly moved toward pro-abortion extremism, Illinoisans from across the state gathered as a witness for a better way: building a culture that respects life from womb to tomb.
Hundreds of pro-life activists gathered Tuesday in Springfield to rally, march and lobby for laws that will better protect the most vulnerable among us, pre-born babies and those needing end-of-life care.
After hearing from a variety of speakers, including leaders of Illinois and national pro-life organizations, pro-life doctors and legislators, those gathered marched around the Capitol, then headed inside to lobby their own legislators on life issues.
Below, you’ll find a gallery of images taken from the rally, as well as the most recent media from the And Campaign at the national level.
