FOREST CITY — Several hundred people marched through the center of Forest City on a rainy Saturday to advocate for life. The Sept. 10 March for Life raised funds for the local pregnancy center, Hands of Hope for Life.
The Knights of Columbus were active in coordinating the event through a Supreme Knights program, Aid and Support After Pregnancy, which benefits babies and mothers after birth.
Tim Will, March for Life chairman of the N.C. State Council Knights of Columbus, has been teaming up local Knights councils with local pregnancy centers in North Carolina cities or towns to conduct Marches for Life. Marches have been planned for Waynesville, Hickory and Shelby, and additional marches are being considered in other towns.
Marches this fall are considered particularly important so voters can identify pro-life candidates to support in the November election.
