Roe Anniversary Events 2019
The Consistent Life Network participates every year in several events surrounding the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision. We use our presence at these events to promote the consistent life ethic to the crowds coming to witness to the humanity of the unborn and the need to protect their lives.
Below is a list of the events in which we as a Network are participating. We invite you to join us. Also, if you are advocating for the consistent life ethic at other Roe anniversary events not listed here, please let us know so we can publicize your work. We are willing to include events at all locations, not just Chicago and Washington, D.C.
If you have questions or news about other events, contact John Whitehead at jwwhiteh@yahoo.com or 202-329-8520. Please keep checking back at this page for updates as we add them.
