After a dinner Saturday evening featuring remarks by March for Life Chicago president Dawn Fitzpatrick, national March for Life Education and Defense Fund president Jeanne Mancini and West Coast Walk for Life coordinator Eva Muntean on Sunday saw approximately 6,000 pro-lifers march the Chicago Loop starting and eventually returning to Federal Plaza, WGN 9 reported.

“We mark with deep sadness the great tragedy of the legalization of abortion in the United States along with the devastating social, moral, and legal consequences that have followed,” the March’s website says of its purpose. “Our vision is that, marching together in hope, we call upon religious, civic, and community leaders to renew every effort to build a nation that affirms the authentic dignity of women and men, the gift of children, and a culture dedicated to protecting life at every stage of development in law and love.”

Mancini and Radiance Foundation president Ryan Bomberger served as the event’s keynote speakers, and marchers heard remarks from Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod president Dr. Matthew Harrison, Chicago Bears co-owner Pat McCaskey, Reps. Darin LaHood and Dan Lipinski, and more. Sunday also saw a youth rally with music and multiple Masses for life.

Photos of the turnout show packed streets with enthusiastic men and women of all ages bundled up and bearing signs proclaiming “right to be born,” “abortion takes a human life,” “a person’s a person no matter how small,” and more.
