Virtual March for
Life drawing thousands
Washington D.C. - Americans United for Life president Dr. Charmaine
Yoest has announced the first ever Virtual March for Life
taking place on Jan. 22. The goal of the virtual effort is to give a
voice to those who are unable to travel to Washington D.C. for the
upcoming event.
“With a health care bill that includes taxpayer funding for abortion
hanging in the balance, this is an important, historic opportunity to
get the attention of politicians in Washington,” said Yoest in a
statement Friday.
“In this critical moment, every American must be heard regardless of
where you are. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are coming to
Washington, D.C. to join the most important March for Life in history,
and you can be there through the Virtual March for Life!” she added.
Participating in the march “will only take seconds” explained the AUL
president, noting that all one needs to do is go to www.VirtualMarchforLife.com,
choose
an avatar and be placed next to other Americans marching online
in front of the U.S. Capitol Building.
“So much is at stake in this moment,” Yoest continued. “How many more
lives will be lost if the Congressional majority rolls back existing
law that protects life and protects us from having our tax dollars used
to fund abortion?”
As of Tuesday morning, there are over 21,000 participants signed up for
the Virtual March for Life.

The IFRL is the largest grassroots pro-life organization in
Illinois. A non-profit organization, that serves as the state
coordinating body for local pro-life chapters representing thousands of
Illinois citizens working to restore respect for all human life in our
society. The IFRL is composed of people of different political
persuasions, various faiths and diverse economic, social and ethnic
backgrounds. Since 1973 the Illinois Federation for Right to Life has
been working to end abortion and restore legal protection to those members of the
human family who are threatened by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Diverse though we are, we hold one common belief - that
every human being has an inalienable right to life that is precious and must be protected. IFRL is
dedicated to restoring the right to life to the unborn, and protection
for the disabled and the elderly. Click here to learn more about the IFRL.
