The 34th annual Hawaii March for Life rally was held yesterday (January 22) near the State Capitol in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hundreds of supporters of life came out to celebrate the sanctity of life -- from conception to its natural end.
Participants heard inspiring speeches from clergy and political leaders of Hawaii who share in the common belief that "life is sacred" and must not be taken away even before it is born.
References to bills introduced in the State Legislature were acknowledged including measures that protect the unborn from partial birth abortion, parrental notification, and criminal acts. Several end of life measures will also be introduced to prevent physician assisted suicide.
After the speeches were made, participants marched around the entire historic capital district in a march of unity that sent a strong message to the commuting public late in the afternoon.
Coverage of this event by maintstream local media was largely non-existent. No articles in either of Honolulu's daily papers nor was there coverage on local television.
Marchers passed by a very small group of noisy anti-demonstrators near the capitol entrance as they began and ended their victorious march. One of the most touching moments I noticed was when a parent was explaining to her small children exactly what abortion is and why they were there. Yes, our children have to be taught early about the sanctity of life. Amen.
