in the United States, attracted 200,000 people.
The comments shown
below are taken from press reports in newspapers and from an Interim contributor
who attended the Jan. 22 rally.
"More and more people
young people are having abortions. Sometimes they act like it's nothing
at all. We need to let them know that it's not right."
-- Joselyn Joseph, 17,
New York City

enough to take responsibility for their acts, they shouldn't be having
sex."

"It's a joyous day
for me, but there's an awful lot of people that should have been born,
and I can't help but think of those little children. For 25 years, we've
snuffed out human life in this country. That's 35 million Americans that
should have been born."
-- Steve Chabot, Congressman,
Ohio

"(Mr. Clinton and Al
Gore) should have the courage, compassion and intellectual honesty to get
off the death ship and join the crusade for life. Like the Titanic, the
pro-abortionists are going down."
-- Chris Smith, Congressman,
New Jersey

"A person is a person,
no matter how small he or she may be."
-- Laslo Eper, Wilmington,
Delaware
