To remember and honor those who were aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, we hold an annual Procession of Roses ceremony. This event will follow the NWA March for Life at our rally.
Our announcer will say a year, a bell will toll, & one person born in that year will walk to the stage, placing a white rose (symbol of innocence and purity) in a vase front and center of the stage. The overhead screen will display the number of abortions in that year. This will start with the year 1973, and end with the current year. At the end, each person who carried a rose will be left standing, representing over 900,000 people aborted in the year of their birth.
This solemn ceremony dramatizes the tragedy of an almost incomprehensible number of people who have been lost. The number of abortions cannot - must not - be a number. They are individuals who God knows by name. We will do our best to remember and honor them.
If you, a family member, or friend would be interested in representing the children lost to abortion during the year of your birth, please click this link to sign up!
