National Day of Remembrance for the Unborn
On Saturday, September 12, 2015, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League will co-sponsor the third annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, calling on pro-life Americans to honor the memorial gravesites of our aborted brothers and sisters.
Solemn prayer vigils will be conducted at these gravesites. There are 47 across the United States, as well as at dozens of other sites dedicated in memory of aborted children.
In NH, the Concord landfill is one of the sites that is a grave for aborted children. The Honorable Representative from Manchester, Kathy Souza, petitioned for the bodies to be exhumed and placed in a proper burial place, but the city workers at the landfill bulldozed over them.
Our March for Life begins at this site each year at 9am. We remember the little ones that some consider throw-away. We mourn their loss. A reading of Senator Coburn’s Poem is generally read at the service. We mourn the loss of countless others across the state and around the nation too.
The memorial graves noted for the September Day of Remembrance are new to me. I had no idea. So, I thought you might not know either. The memorial services occur on the second Saturday each September.

For those who have difficulty in the cold or cannot make it for a full day in January, this is a similar memorial to that which happens at the beginning of the March for Life in NH. Memorial services for those killed by abortion honor God’s children and honor their creator. They provide a teachable moment and a time to reflect on what is really important in life.
In what ways do you and your family remember?
