Activity:
Start your class by writing the theme of this year’s March for Life Rally:

Stand Up Now! Unite for the Life Principles—No Exception! No Compromise!

Have students journal about the meaning of the theme and what it means to them. As a class discuss what this theme is hoping to inspire in us. What are the life principles it mentions? How will you live this out?
