Arkansas Marches for Life

Extracts from The Tolbert Report - Yesterday was the 31st Annual March for Life in downtown Little Rock. This year a large crowd of around a thousand made the trek down Capital Avenue to the steps of the state capital. Leading the march were a handful of state legislators included Sen. Gilbert Baker, Rep. Dan Greenberg, Rep. Jonathan Dismang, Rep. Dawn Creekmore, Rep. Duncan Baird, and Rep. Andrea Lea. Former Governor Mike Huckabee was also at the front of crowd.

Bishop Anthony Taylor brought the prayer, Arkansas Right to Life President Wayne Mays gave an update on their work, and Rep. Dawn Creekmore discussed the need for and current statue of the recently filed Arkansas Partial Birth Abortion Ban. The keynote and highlight of the march was the speech delivered by Julie Mayberry (formerly of KATV and wife of Andy Mayberry). Julie discussed her journey from a pro-choice stance ten years to her current strong pro-life stance, through the birth of her children, prayer and Bible study, and research about what abortion really is. She ended the speech by imploring the crowd not to just come to the march and go home but to go out and make a difference; borrowing a quote from Sarah Palin, she said, “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not the reason a ship is built.”
