March 4 life on Washington DC


“An estimated 2 billion human beings have died through abortion in the last forty years alone. This is something most people don’t realise and it needs to be emphasised”, says Joseph Meaney, Director of International Coordination at Human Life International.

On Monday tens of thousands of people march on Washington DC, to mark this weekend’s anniversary of the 1973 Roe vs Wade Supreme Court decision that legalised abortion in the United States.

Marches have been held every year since then, and have grown from a participation of 20 thousand people to an estimated 200 thousand in recent years. “Most of them are young, very young people out there”, says Meaney, “and yet it barley gets covered in the media”.

The HLI director goes on to say “its becoming increasingly clear that the vast majority of Americans are against abortion on demand, and over the years more pro-life justices have been appointed to the Court, but yet the law itself and the court’s decision has not changed. The result is a growing frustration among Americans that the will of the people is not being respected”. Listen to full interview: RealAudioMP3
