We are now entering the period every January that celebrates
unborn life and will see marches for life in various cities around the world.
The largest is of course the annual Washington March for Life, which will
celebrate its 41st year this January.
Jeanne Monahan President, MARCH FOR LIFE Education and
Defense Fund has announced that a beautiful new logo has been developed for
this years march.
The announcement and logo are reprinted below
This year marks the 41st annual March for Life (MfL), and I
am very excited to announce that we have developed a new logo for the March for
Life Education and Defense Fund. It is our belief and hope that our new logo
bridges our history and our future--and we'd like to hear what you think about
it, too.
In the early days of the March for Life, and up until
security requirements on Capitol Hill stopped the effort, young marchers would
personally deliver red roses to legislators in their Hill offices. The roses
symbolized the lives of the unborn and were also meant to encourage Members to
support policies that protected and built a culture of life.
There is a lot to a red rose; red is a symbol of mourning.
We are saddened and always remember the 55 million unique American lives that
have been lost to abortion in the past 41 years. Yet a red rose is also a sign
of life and love! Our new logo revamps the red rose that has been the symbol of
the March for Life for these past 41 years. We believe it conveys life, love,
and hope.
You'll notice the new logo encompasses a mother and child.
We march for moms and babies. Abortion not only snuffs out a life filled with
potential, it harms a mother emotionally, psychologically and physically. We embrace every woman and child with
hope for happier tomorrows.
We hope that you like our new logo and what it stands for, but
even more, we hope to see you at the MfL in two weeks! Stay tuned in the days
ahead for more exciting announcements!
