FRANKFORT — Pro-life supporters from across Kentucky and beyond converged in Frankfort for the Kentucky March for Life on Tuesday, undeterred by rain and chilly temperatures.
“Today we’re celebrating,” said Addia Wuchner, executive director of the event’s sponsor, Kentucky Right to Life. “We’re celebrating the laws, and the lives that have been saved in the commonwealth since the overturning of Roe and since the ending of abortion in Kentucky.”
After marching from East 2nd Street, down Capital Avenue and up the Capitol steps, marchers gathered in the rotunda for a rally. The theme: “Love Them Both.”
Cecil Blye, pastor of More Grace Ministries in Louisville, expanded on that idea.
“We’ve got to love them both…I’m not talking about polemics. I’m not talking about just slogans. But we’re not going to just love them both; we’re going to love them in the right way,” Blye said. “I’m talking about resources. I’m talking about money, education. I’m talking about protection from violence. I’m talking about counseling. I’m talking about walking through processes with…women who are in a crisis pregnancy, and not just to the birth date, but after the child is born.”
