Last Saturday marked a milestone for pro-life activists in Pittsburgh as the city hosted its inaugural March For Life demonstration. The event attracted approximately 1,000 participants who gathered near the University of Pittsburgh’s primary campus.<\/p>

According to Lydia Davis from Students for Life of America, organizers deliberately selected the university setting for their demonstration. Davis explained to LifeSiteNews that the campus location was strategically chosen because “This is where the message needs to be heard. We’re hoping to reach especially Gen Z on this campus with the message that women don’t need abortion, that 28 percent of Gen Z were aborted.”<\/p>

The rally represents the first time Pittsburgh has organized such an event, bringing together pro-life advocates from across the region to demonstrate their opposition to abortion rights.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
