Pro-life youth gather across the US for Life Chain to protest against abortion
As coronavirus restrictions and security concerns forced the March for Life to forego its annual demonstration in Washington, D.C., this year, a group of pro-life Americans gathered to form the largest ever Life Chain.
The pro-life group Students for Life of America decided to put on an event that would enable people who had already planned to attend the March for Life to show their support for the unborn, just a week after the 48th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalised abortion in the US.
Despite the bitterly cold wind chill, more than two hundred pro-life youth gathered at Gravelly Point in Arlington, Virginia, on Friday. The park is located just off the George Washington Memorial Parkway and near Ronald Reagan National Airport.
With the Washington Monument in the background, attendees formed a large Life Chain, which organisers hoped would be the largest in the world. As they faced the George Washington Memorial Parkway, many driving on the busy highway honked their horns to show support for their cause.
Holding signs emblazoned with phrases such as “abortion betrays women,” pro-life protesters chanted, “Hey hey! Ho-ho! Roe v. Wade has got to go,” “We are the pro-life generation” and “Preborn rights are human rights!”
