Members and supporters of Pennsylvanians For Human Life boarded busses in Scranton Thursday for the annual March For Life in Washington, D. C.

Helen Gohsler is President of the Northeast Chapter of Pennsylvanians For Human Life. She said her organization 'is very worried about the gains that we've made in the last 35 years...going to be wiped out by this Obama Administration. The area marchers had one sign protesting the so called 'Freedom of Choice Act' which they say is designed to give future generations of women the guaranteed option to have an abortion if they so desire.

Beth Chomas of Lake Ariel brought her 15-month-old daughter along for the march in Washington. Referring to het daughter she said 'This is what its about. Its saving lives. And these young innocent ones need us to speak for them because they can't speak for themselves."
