January 22, 2018, marks the 45th anniversary of the dreadful Roe v Wade decision that has resulted in the slaughter of over 65,000,000 preborn baby girls and boys in America. Many Floridians will take part in the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. There are several events throughout Florida though where prolifers will gather to remember the babies who have been lost and stand for life. We encourage you to make plans to attend one of these events near you in Broward, Charlotte, Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, and St. Lucie Counties as well as events for the entire state.
