One of the first events I covered for the Catholic Herald was a pro-life rally held at the state Capitol on January 22, 1974.
It was held one year after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
I went back and read that article, which noted that many people attending the rally wore buttons which said, “Give Life a Chance.”
