Hundreds of pro-life men from across the country gathered last weekend for the fourth annual National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood.
On November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints, around 200 men marched six miles from a Planned Parenthood to Boston Common to bear witness to the unborn, dealing with some leftist protesters along the way.
March organizer Jim Havens emphasized to LifeSiteNews that he hopes the march will help inspire pro-life men to get off the sidelines and into the battle for the unborn, and lead the Supreme Court to hear a case on unborn children’s constitutional personhood.
One of the marchers, who drove several hours from Philadelphia to participate, highlighted the significant impact the couple hundred men had on the pro-life movement and the need for more Catholics to get involved in similar events.
Jim Havens, the co-founder and president of the annual march, said that one of the main goals of the march is to get pro-life men “off the sidelines” and stand up for the unborn. He noted that over the past four years, thousands of men have made the trip and marched.
“Every time (men come out to march) we look at that as a great victory for each person that is able to stand up, maybe for the first time publicly, against this ongoing daily mass murder of our littlest preborn brothers and sisters, so there’s great fruits there,” he said.
“There’s a lot of healing for the men that come out and participate, for those who maybe have (had) some participation in abortion in the past, or even just the sin of omission of not doing anything about this in the past and (are) now finally getting up and getting out to make a public stand,” he added.
