Hartford March for Life, Connecticut’s First, as Abortion Fight Moves to States
March 25, 2022 | Connecticut
TRANSCRIPT:
McCabe: In Hartford, pro-life activists held Connecticut’s first March for Life. The Star News Network asked Larry Cirignano of The Children First Foundation why the pro-life movement is growing in the states but is stalled in Washington.
Cirignano: The action is going to happen in the state Houses all over the country. We know that here in Washington we’re frozen with a 50/50 senate, nothing is going to happen. But in the state Houses lots of things are happening. Lots of new ideas, lots of young blood, lots of people who haven’t been involved in the movement before. And we’ll see what happens.
McCabe: The March for Life in Hartford comes after decades of Connecticut having a reputation as being one of the most pro-abortion states in the union.
Cirignano: In Hartford, we saw people that usually get up at 5:30 in the morning to get on a bus to go to Washington in cold January. Here they can just come into the capital to be happy to be celebrating and to be a force for nature on the pro-life movement.
McCabe: Cirignano said the Hartford March for Life exceeded expectations.
Cirignano: We had a great crowd that saw lots of enthusiasm, lots of youth, lots of fun. (March for Life clip plays) It’s the future of Connecticut… (Excerpts from the Virginia Star)
