“We are here to support the rights of unborn babies.”
One of the movement supporters, Eva Capova, underwent abortion many years ago and talks about her experience.

“I had a terrible state of anxiety, but I accredited it to some other things, for example, the fact I was there alone. I found out that I had not come to terms with the abortion only when I decided to confess. So, until that time it was something in the back of my conscience that I never talked about.”
According to the pro life movement, abortion is killing of an unborn baby which march participants expressed by carrying white crosses in their hands.

“Abortion is carried out in the way that little arms, legs and then head are torn off the baby’s body, and the baby is dying in such pain.”
A group of leftist activists completely disagree with this statement, and were outraged by the march.

“In the third month the baby is not well-developed, its feelings are not developed and so on, so it’s definitely is not murder.”
On average, 115,000 abortions are carried out every day in the world.
