NH Right to Life's Annual
MARCH  FOR  LIFE
CONCORD,  NH
Saturday
January 15, 2005
(See Complete Schedule Below)


In observance of the 31th anniversary
of the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision
which legalized well over 40 million deaths
 by surgical abortion in America ...
... and counting every 20 seconds...

Over 43 Million babies


The NH pro-life community witnessed against abortion on demand on January 15 as the anniversary of the woeful Roe v. Wade decision approached.  Some 250 people participated in the church services, the rally at the NH State House, a march past the local abortion clinic, the fellowship luncheon, or a message of pro-life education, inspiration, and encouragement from our keynote speaker, Kathy Sparks.   It was a beautiful sunny day despite the icy rain the day before and the snow the day after. 

A BIG THANK YOU to those who attended, volunteered, prayed, promoted, or donated food or funding on behalf of this event.   (So many were gracious with food, some leftovers were brought to area food kitchens!)    We dearly hope the tools, synergy, and inspiration helped increase everyone's resolve to never never never give up opposing the horrors of abortion and the reasons for it.  

So far to our knowledge, only the NH Sunday News / Union Leader covered the story, but if you see additional coverage or letters relevant, please send them along to us.

Kathy Sparks

Keynote Speaker
for the 2005 March for Life
in Concord, NH, Sat. Jan 15

"Called Out of Darkness"
Kathy Sparks presented "Called Out of Darkness and into His Marvelous Light".   She once worked as a medical assistant in an abortion clinic, and is now serving the Lord Jesus Christ as the Executive Director of the New Beginnings Pregnancy Centers in Granite City, Fairview Heights, and Edwardsville, Illinois.  Kathy's testimony has appeared in Christian Herald Magazine and in several videos including "Meet the Abortion Providers" produced and distributed by the Pro-Life Action League of Chicago and more recently, "The Testimony of Kathy Sparks", produced and distributed nationwide by Mission City Television of San Antonio, Texas.  Her compelling story of crisis, healing, and renewal during the 2005 March for Life events was really inspirational, heartwarming, motivating, and a blessing to all.
