13 Thoughts of Every Person at the March for Life

It’s that time of year, where thousands march everywhere in union with all lives lost due to abortion and stand for the protection of all life. While the March for Life is a solemn event it can be fun and exciting. United in the spirit of saving lives I know God gives every marcher the grace to embrace and celebrate life at the March. So whether this is your first march or 10th here are some funny moments I feel everyone can testify to be true.
