Governors Sarah
Palin, Mike Huckabee Join Virtual March for Life
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to attend tomorrow's
National March for Life, which takes place annually on the anniversary
of the Roe v. Wade decision. Americans United for Life Action, in an
effort to bolster the real March for Life, launched the first-ever
Virtual March for Life www.virtualmarchforlife.com earlier this week.
This innovative online campaign allows people to create an avatar of
themselves and "march" online. The Virtual March for Life currently
boasts 45,000 Americans and is growing by the minute. As part of this
effort, the Virtual March for Life is featuring prominent leaders who
are lending their support to the cause.
"The healthcare bill as currently written will unravel long-standing
federal policy by allowing public funds to be used for abortion.
Because of the magnitude of this threat, this year's national March for
Life will be the most important in history. We created the Virtual
March for Life to encourage people to be here tomorrow and to give
voice to countless Americans who can't be in Washington but wish they
could. We are encouraging everyone to click and be heard," said Dr.
Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life Action.
This list now includes:
• Governor Sarah Palin
• Governor Mike Huckabee

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.
