A few thousand people attended the Louisiana Life March in Baton Rouge to rally against abortion on Saturday afternoon (Jan. 18). Activists walked through the city's downtown before gathering in front of the steps of the Louisiana State Capitol for a rally.
The theme of the event was "Adoption: The Power of Possibility" and speakers urged people to put a children up for adoption rather than electing to have an abortion. They also pushed families to consider adopting a child or becoming a foster parent.
Several politicians attended the event. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., and Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, spoke at the rally. State Rep. Lenar Whitney, R-Houma, former U.S. Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, R-New Orleans, and U.S. Senate candidate Robert Maness were also present.
