Thousands march for life in downtown Chicago
Thousands marched for life in downtown Chicago on Jan. 15, 2017.

Cardinal Cupich was among the pro-life speakers at the rally before the march. He said, “We raise our voice this afternoon with a message which is simple and direct: ‘Life Wins.’” (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
