Annual March For Life in Washington D.C.

The March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from all across the country. Every year, tens of thousands of pro-lifers converge in Washington, D.C. and march on Capitol Hill on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which legalized abortion in all 50 states. It’s the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world. But this is not just a protest… TOGETHER, WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE LIFE. We celebrate each and every life, from the moment of conception. We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected.

Why We March...

We march to make our voices heard. We march to support our legislators and each other. We march in support of the tiny, helpless unborn - because they were created in the image and likeness of God and their lives matter.

We march because it is the right thing to do.

The March for Life is an opportunity to proclaim the value of all human life and advocate for the protection of life in our law.

Our Participation

Every year, Pulse secures bus transportation and hotels for Iowans across the state. We especially encourage teenagers and young adults to attend with us. We look at it as a life-changing, heart and mind changing event. Youth who attend become more firm in their pro-life convictions and are more likely to stay in the church. Let us know if you have any questions or if you want to be put on the list for next years' march.

The Annual March is a life changing experience!

“It was an experience greater than myself and I love that this trip brought me closer to Christ, Thank you!”

“Seemed like the group was engaged in the life prayers and it was very beautiful for all involved especially for students to rally around life and build a Christ centered community.”

“This is the fundamental issue- if we get LIFE right, so many other things get right because of it.”

 

“It was so powerful & inspiring.  Being part of something bigger than myself was the ultimate experience.  I enjoyed the whole trip immensely and it was wonderful meeting new people!”

“I want to become more involved with the pro-life movement.  IFL has shown me a glimpse of what that could look like.”

“It was an experience greater than myself and I love that this trip brought me closer to Christ, Thank you!”

March for Life 2016 #neverforgetmarker133

Stuck on the  Pennsylvania Turnpike for 24 hours. Lessons learned.

As I planned this year’s March for Life in Washington DC I was filled with a lot of mixed emotions. On the one hand, we had a record number of participants planning to attend, but on the other, the weather updates continued to put a damper on the upcoming trip. And it wasn’t just a typical winter storm, it was coined ‘snowmaggedon’ and ‘the storm of the century’.

We continued to watch the weather and forged forward with the trip. Unfortunately, we lost three schools to this forecast and decided that we would need to cut the trip short and eliminate the sight-seeing day in order to beat the storm home.

The trip to DC was largely uneventful and arrival at our hotel was smooth. As always, our trips consist of education, prayer and fun. When we arrived, Father Pat Behm celebrated Mass at the hotel for those groups interested. Some groups attended Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, while others packed in a quick tour of the national monuments. The morning would come early as we decided to save time, and load all luggage back onto the buses before heading out to the Archdiocesan of Washington DC Youth Rally & Mass held at Verizon Center and The DC Armory.
