Front row from left: Erica DeBrock, 14, of Jackson, Adyson Seabaugh, 12, of Cape Girardeau, and Aubrey Keran, 13, of Jackson, take part in a March for Life on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2020, in Jackson. Meg Garner, director of youth and family ministry at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, said there is a national pro-life march in Washington, D.C., and many can't make it there, so the decision was made to do their own "mini march." Garner said she and students with the pro-life group "Students4Life" at Immaculate Conception School coordinated the event. Garner said it's important to "defend those who cannot defend themselves."
