Pro-abortion protesters attempted to disrupt a prayerful pro-life walk in New York City that attracted several hundred participants.
Pro-abortion protesters attempted to disrupt a prayerful pro-life walk in New York City on Saturday, in part by throwing garbage in their path. Despite the suboptimal conditions — which included pouring rain — the pro-life walk attracted several hundred participants.
The seventh-annual “International Gift of Life Walk-NYC” on March 25 attracted more than 250 people who processed about a mile through New York City in an attempt to bear witness to the pro-life cause. Speakers at the rally included former abortion doctor Haywood Robinson, who now works with 40 Days for Life, and Ed Mechmann, policy director for the Archdiocese of New York.
Images captured at the rally by photojournalist Jeffrey Bruno show individuals and pro-life groups marching in dismal rain and wind, many with rosaries, amid a heavy police presence. Approximately 30 counterprotesters shouted and rang cowbells from the roadsides in an attempt to disrupt the march.
