Each year, the Cincinnati ProLife Committee sponsors the annual ProLife Rosary Procession and Rally in reparation for abortion in downtown Cincinnati.  The next event will take place on January 21, 2012.  In January 2011, nearly 600 people marched for life.  In 2010, over 1000 people showed up to take part in the public recitation of 15 decades of the Rosary. 

NEARLY 52 MILLION CHILDREN HAVE BEEN MURDERED since the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion on January 22nd, 1973.  Won't you join us?

The Cincinnati ProLife Committee acknowledges that life is a gift from God. We are dedicated to protecting life in the womb despite the modern culture of destroying it by abortion. We strive to spiritually protect life by promoting an annual public Rosary Procession in the bitter cold of January in downtown Cincinnati as penance for the infamous United States Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. We believe that God hears our prayers in reparation for the 50 million lives lost since that January 23, 1973 court decision. We also honor those who have stood up for life in public office and those who deal with the devastating effects caused by abortion.

While many Americans mistakenly believe that the Roe v. Wade decision is 'the law of the land', it is a court decision, not a law. Roe v. Wade struck down a Texas law against abortion. Many Constitutional scholars, including those who approve of women having the choice of an abortion, admit that the U.S. Supreme Court had no authority under the U.S. Constitution to rule on the constitutionality of a state law barring abortions. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that any powers not given specifically to the U.S. Congress, nor denied to the States, belong to the people, or to the States. So procedurally, Roe v. Wade was a poor decision.

Substantively speaking, it is impossible to respect it. The Court did not address the issue of when life begins. Since no woman has ever given birth to anything besides a human being, life in the womb belongs to a person, unique in its genetic makeup. That person has a right to continue its life outside the womb, i.e TO BE BORN! The current legal status quo, unfortunately, is that abortion is available up until the day of delivery.

Proponents of abortion insist on the 'woman's right to choose'. But they never finish the sentence, i.e. the right to choose death for their baby. And since a large percentage of persons denied life through surgical or chemical abortions are female, why is their choice to live ignored?

Abortion is first and foremost a money making business and is targeted to the vulnerable with problem pregnancies as a solution to their problem. Information about research connecting abortion to breast cancer is suppressed. Abortuaries are often in violation of sanitary standards relating to hospital surgery. Americans are forced to subsidize abortionists' salaries through Title X tax funding. And the media ignores thousands of Americans demonstrating every January against abortion and for life.

Since the invention of the sonogram, however, former abortionists and their assistants have abandoned their work to kill babies. Most notably among them, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a former abortionist, has become a pro-life advocate. State to state restrictions on abortion are encouraging. Educational efforts, especially on college campuses, are resulting in the majority of Americans on record as being against abortion on demand.

It is the hope of the Cincinnati ProLife Committee that by attracting a large crowd each January to pray publicaly, followed by a rally to honor those in the practical arena of trying to protect life either politically or in day to day efforts, that the righteous cause of life will ultimately prevail, according to God's holy will.
