This January of 2020 we celebrated the first New Year in 40 years that NWA is abortion center free; making Northwest Arkansas a safer place for moms and their unborn babies!  God blessed us with a beautiful day (a little chilly, but blue skies and sunny), and approximately 300 people (from babies in strollers to grandparents) came out to celebrate the gift of life. 

​

Springdale Mayor Doug Sprouse gave an inspiring speech about the many pro-life legislative advances in Arkansas and informing us that we are the 2nd most pro-life state in the country.   He emphasized, however, that laws don't change hearts.  We MUST reach out to people individually and be a witness for Christ to the heart.  

​

Judge Joseph Wood gave his powerful testimony sharing that one winter night in Chicago he was left in a box as a newborn on the steps of an apartment complex.  He was later adopted and raised by a good and loving family and is a highly educated judge in Washington County, a true inspiration to us all.  He continues to be a beautiful witness for our churches and neighborhoods.

​

NWA Respect Life would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that participated and helped make our March for Life a success.  We look forward to next year!
