January 22, 2017 marks the forty-fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion. In every year following, there is a march in Washington D.C. to protest this decision and to stand up for the lives lost every day in the abortion clinics. There are so many people out there who protest this protest because they feel that these protesters do not understand what they are standing for. In a theme common to society as a large: “You can have your opinion as long as it isn’t different from mine. If it is different, you are wrong and you should keep silent.”

I won’t keep silent. Because silence is the beginning of things going wrong. When people keep silent and don’t stand up for what is right and good, morals fall to the wayside and wrong actions are glorified. The world is normalizing the culture of sin and saying that sin is a lifestyle that should be sought after. Instead of helping one another to be the most loving and caring individuals that we can possibly be, we choose to egg each other on in hatred and malice. We choose to be angry about the world around, but not do anything to change the things that are going wrong around us.

Every year, over a million abortions occur in the United States alone. Can you imagine what your life would be like if there were over a million more people involved in it? The world would be a completely different place, and I want to know that place.

On January 27, 2017 I will join with hundreds of thousands of pro-life individuals in D.C. as we show that we are choosing to be the generation that wants to make a difference. We are choosing to do something with our lives that goes completely against what society believes, and what the current culture wants to normalize. It isn’t right. And it isn’t normal.

I will March for Life in D.C. because I want to have the opportunity to be friends with all of the babies living in the wombs of their mothers. I will March for Life in D.C. because every person has a constitutional right to have their voice and opinion heard. I will March for Life in D.C. because my unborn brothers and sisters throughout the world cannot march for themselves. I will March for Life in Washington D.C. because I love all of the women throughout the world, and I want them to have the best and most blessed life possible. I am the pro-life generation, and I will not be silent.
