Hi everyone, thanks for your comments. I have posted the updated version of this video with actual pictures and footage from the March on my channel. The title is OLPH March for Life 2008. I hope you have a chance to check it out.

If some pro-lifer's act in that way, then that is their big mistake. All the people I know do what they can from beginning to end. I think one of the things that hurts everyone is stereotyping on both sides. I'm strongly against abortion, but I don't believe pro-choicers are enemies. Nor am I trying to take away womens' rights.....but no-one should have the liberty to take life esp when the party whose future is destroyed has no way to protect his/herself or speak against it.

I'm extremely pleased to hear that you help out the children whose mothers chose life!

Most pro lifers will stand around and yell not to abort, then ignore the woman after she gives birth. It's as if they go "okay, you didn't abort. Now let's go yell at the next pregnant girl." I am glad to hear there are SOME of you who care about the children after they are born.

Marching will help. Although it is just a bunch of signs, 2 hundred thousand people sends a powerful message. Yes we need to do more though. Many if not most of those people out there do more than just go to the March. Where I live, every single one of us that went on the March for Life volunteers at a center for women who chose to keep their babies. In our group, there are many familes of up to 7 children. The parents didn't HAVE to have that many kids, but they understand how precious life is.

Thanks for posting. In response to the other comments, we are not judging people themselves. Esp not the mothers. They've made a mistake if they've had an abortion, but they have help. Every life is precious. Also, which would you hold as a higher offense: litering....or killing human life? (I'm not saying litering is right however lol) God bless you all.

LOL.. WOW using children for your cause.. why is that not enough logic to get other adults to join you? Again you should use the word fetus not life not babie yet because you have not turned over roe vs wade yet so you just sound ignorant. Have you ever though about how the Women who had this done feels afterword. What about rape/incest/ maybe a stupid girl or women who just made a accident. what about if the fetus is born and you have to tell a kid your mommy didnt want you.God said dont judge!

"this is about a child that deserves life" I don't think that a fetus's rights should be able to override those of the mother. What makes this child so worthy of using it's mothers body? I don't think a fetus's right to eventually have a REAL life (as opposed to it's fetal state, with no concience of self awareness) should outweigh the mother's right to expel something unwanted from her body.

Look, the fact is that it is a child that the woman is carrying, and she has the responsibility to take care of the child, or at least to give him/her life. It doesnt matter if the pregnancy is unwanted, this is about a child that deserves life, just as we have life.

my point is that because the woamn chose to have sex, no one is forcing her to do anything, it was her choice in the first place.

[asblue91]

"so you are saying that pregnancy forces a woman to carry something unwanted?" Not in all cases; some women want to be pregnant. "No one forced the woman to do any such thing, she chose to have sex" Correct. What's your point? "Women are given the gift to bare children" Not all women find it a gift. "they should not have the choice to destroy such a beautiful gift" They should not have the choice to remove something unwanted from their uterus, regardless of what it is?

[LifeofMel]

"forcing them to lend their body to something they don't want for nine months"

- so you are saying that pregnancy forces a woman to carry something unwanted? No one forced the woman to do any such thing, she chose to have sex (only 1% of abortions are a result of rape, so excluding that 1%)

Women are given the gift to bare children; they should not have the choice to destroy such a beautiful gift of life.

Funny how a large portion of the protesters were children. It's easy to explain to children how killing children is easy, but not how easy it is to explain a woman's right to choose. O, and by the way, you guys littered terribly that day. Save the babies but not the planet? You are all hypocrites!
