OneLife LA — 10 years on
Ten years ago, we founded OneLife LA with the hope of starting a new conversation and encouraging a new way of thinking about the right to life and the cause of human dignity in our city and in our nation.
At that time, Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. The lives of millions of unborn children were being taken in the womb each year as the result of that 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which claimed to find a “right” to abortion in the federal Constitution.
Catholics and other concerned citizens had long taken to gathering on Jan. 22, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, to peacefully march for an end to abortion and advocate for public policies that support women, children, and families.
