Carrying banners and posters, university students boarded a bus. Five hours after their departure they arrived in Washington, D.C., where they joined the anti-abortion March for Life rally. After hearing prominent pro-life leaders speak at the Ellipse near the White House, rally attendees marched down Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court building, the origin of the infamous Roe v.

And even though most of us won't hear much about it, the people who come together for the March for Life still matter.
