Original Fight For Life

The Jesuit Pro-Life club started off the week with a solemn reminder of what we are fighting for.

Today, we joined over 2,000 Pro-Life advocates filling the pews at the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin Guadalupe for a mass, rally and march to mark the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. 

After the mass, we marched through downtown to the Earle Cabell Federal Building, where on the eighth floor Roe v. Wade began. Senior Zach Harris said that the experience was "simply amazing". Zach has been to the march before but said that this year there was a significant increase in attendance, even Pro-Lifers from other Christian denomination joined in to stand in solidarity with the unborn. 

As a group, we are very excited for the march and can't wait to have our message heard on a national level. This year, we began our crusade for life where the original struggle began.
