Catholic Family Campaign

This will be the first year that a Right to Life March and Rally will be held in Tulsa marking the 37th anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision allowing legal abortion in the United States.  The Jan. 22 event is sponsored by several local organizations and a coalition of churches, including Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, charismatic, evangelical and fundamentalist and is expected to attract over 2000 participants.

The march will be a little less than one mile, and will end with a rally at Chapman Centennial Green, on 6th Street between Boston and Main. At the rally, several local speakers will address the marchers and encourage them to be resolute in their commitment to the defense of life.

Organizers say the event will offer support and solidarity to those who make the sacrifice to travel each year to Washington D.C., and remind them that they are not alone. Secondly, it will offer people who cannot travel to the National Right to Life March in Washington an opportunity to voice their opposition to abortion in a public and peaceful manner.  Finally, this march offers a wide variety of Christian churches and denominations the opportunity to work together for a common cause while testifying together to their unrelenting opposition to abortion.
