Under the direction of three national pro-life groups - Chicago-based Pro-life Action League [http://ProLifeAction.org], Citizens for a Pro-life Society [http://ProLifeSociety.com], and Priests for Life [http://PriestsForLife.org] - solemn services of remembrance will be held at more than a hundred such gravesites and memorials at churches and cemeteries across the country

Eric Scheidler, Executive Director of the Pro-life Action League, stated, “It’s sobering to realize that these babies were discarded like garbage, but they are our brothers and sisters. That’s why we buried them, and that’s why we mourn for them and testify to their humanity.”

The first National Day of Remembrance was held last September on the 25th anniversary of the solemn burial of several hundred abortion victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Thousands of mourners participated in the National Day of Remembrance, now established as an annual event on the second Saturday each September.
