Blogs for Life is the third annual conference of pro-life bloggers and is scheduled on the day of the 35th annual March for Life, during which tens of thousands of pro-life citizens gather in the nation's capital to celebrate life and demand the reversal of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. In addition to the March, January 20th has been proclaimed Sanctity of Life Sunday and provides an opportunity for pastors to inspire and motivate their congregations in preparation for this somber anniversary.
