Jan. 22, marked the 37 anniversary of the Roe v. Wade court case.
16 Clarion University students celebrated the event by attending the National March for Life in Washington, DC.
Joined by thousands of other participants, they marched along Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court building.
The students got the opportunity to attend the National Students for Life of America Conference, where they were given more information on the topic of abortion. They were told new ways of networking and to provide information across campus.
Women from the Silent No More Awareness Campaign gave inspirational speeches that reached out to those who may suffer or have suffered before from the affects post-abortion depression.
Both women and men gave participating marchers emotional and personal testimonies about their real-life struggles and healings.
“The whole experience was very emotional,” said Emily Mosher, who holds the Community Outreach chair in the Clarion Student’s for Life group.
“It was encouraging to hear the stories of healing after their hurt,” Mosher said.
The Student’s for Life group plans on marching again next year with hopes that even more students will want to attend.
“It is an awesome experience to be a part of something so huge,” said Amy Denison, Student’s for Life’s vice president.
March for Life is open to all forms of publics, whether they are pro-life or pro-choice.
“I recommend going to get more educated on the subject, and to get to spend time in Washington, D.C. because it ‘s an amazing place,” said Dennison.
