March For Life MN 2009
This year we attended the March for Life 2009 at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, MN. Thursday, January 22nd, marked the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States. The events of the march went very smoothly. There were between 4 and 5 thousand people in attendance that peaceably made their voice heard. However, instead of covering the march, the media chose to emphasize a story of a man who ran his car violently into the Planned Parenthood building in St. Paul that same day.
It was inspiring to hear Governor Tim Pawlenty, Senator Norm Coleman and MCCL representative Bill Poehler speak. MCCL stands for Minnesota Concerned Citizens for Life. They all spoke with a clear understanding of the pro-life issues. Gov. Pawlenty encouraged us to not give up but “to keep going by working on changing one heart and mind at a time, then the laws will follow.” For the first time MCCL was combining it’s program with Silent No More MN. In the picture above you can see about 30 of us, men and women who are part of Silent No More MN.
We stood on the front steps during the MCCL program holding our signs, “I regret my abortion” and “I regret lost fatherhood.” After the outside program ended we went inside to the Capitol Rotunda to hear the Silent No More MN program of men and women sharing their post-abortive testimonies. The Capitol Rotunda was packed with people to hear us. After I shared my testimony, we (Jeff and I) had appointments with Senator David Hann and State Representative Jenifer Loon. Those appointments also went well as we encouraged them to fight for life.

Thank you for visiting my website. Please keep checking back for periodical updates.
In January I was able to attend the March for Life 2008 in Washington DC. The trip was very impactful. I plan to share more details in the next upcoming newsletter. If you haven’t signed up to be on my mailing list now is a great time to do so. Just go to my website and sign up on the “Contact Page”.
Here’s a cool bumper sticker:
In the word ABORTION if you replace the B with a D, and the R with a P, then you have the word ADOPTION.
