In spite of the severe weather we’ve been having here in the North-east, several Cornellians were able to make it for this year’s national March for Life. Paul Ibrahim, president of Cornell’s pro-life club, Cornell Coalition for Life, e-mailed this to us about the march:

The March For Life this year was amazing. Although 20 or so Cornellians were unable to go to DC because of the weather, a number of pro-lifers from Cornell managed to represent the university at the march.

It was a truly great experience. We met a large number of Cornell alumni who saw our banner, walked up to us, and thanked us for what we were doing. We even met current Cornell students who were unaware of the existence of the Cornell Coalition For Life.

After we stood on a high point that overlooked all of the marchers passing by, we got an unbelievable amount of attention. Most of the people who walked by started cheering us on, yelling out things like “I didn’t know pro-lifers even existed at Ivies.” It was a truly wonderful time, and we hope that Cornell will be represented by an even larger number of pro-lifers next year.
