THOUSANDS MARCH IN CELEBRATION OF LIFE THIS SATURDAY On Saturday, January 21, 2012, thousands will once again March for Life in Dallas. Last year, empty strollers led a march of over 8,000 people through downtown in memory of 51 million lives lost to abortion since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. This year, even more are expected to take to the streets with thousands of yellow "LIFE" balloons – not only in memory of lives lost, but also in celebration of the many victories for life over the past year. The Dallas March for Life coincides with marches all over the country on or near January 22 – the 39th memorial anniversary of Roe v. Wade – including Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Tulsa, Baton Rouge, and Honolulu. The Dallas March is the largest in Texas. This year's Rally will feature Norma McCorvey – "Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade. Photo and Video Opportunities on January 21, 2012 in downtown Dallas include:
