Baltimore, Md., Mar 5, 2009 / 01:44 am
The 30th Annual Maryland March for Life will take place on Monday, March 9, organizers have announced, saying they want to rally support after pro-life defeats in the Maryland legislature and in the nomination of pro-abortion rights Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to become Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The March will begin to assemble at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Annapolis at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Archbishop of Baltimore Edwin O’Brien will celebrate Mass there at 5:30. A concurrent Evangelical prayer service will also be held.
Participants will then march to Lawyer’s Mall at the State House for a planned rally and demonstration. Bishop Harry Jackson, an African-American pro-life leader who pastors Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, will address the rally.
March organizers say recent action in the Maryland senate will be a topic of discussion.
