In mid-February, Saint Mary's High School’s entire student body and faculty attended March For Life’s and Arizona Life Coalition’s first gathering since the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion legal throughout the U.S. Outside of Arizona’s State Capitol, several thousand people congregated at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza to express their respect for the dignity of all human life.
The main speakers at the rally were (twin sisters) Vangi and Eliana Birnbaum, who gave the prolife talk, and special guest, Senator Emeritus Nancy Barto.
Once the rally was over, the attendees marched around the Arizona State Capitol Building. One student at the event, Javier Perez said, “It was awesome!” after he walked with his friends and teachers; conveying respect for human life. The weather during the event was beautiful and pleasant. The crowds displayed love and peace, which reflects the message of choosing life.
