Would SFL consider doing a “tombstone signs project” for March for Life? You can get sheets of large foam board for a dollar a sheet at places like Dollar Tree. Cut the tops in a curve like the top of a tombstone.
On the front of each one, the basic information about a woman killed by safe, legal abortion, i.e.:
Laura Hope Smith
Died: September 13, 2007
Age: 22
Cause of Death: Safe, Legal Abortion
On the back, you post the woman’s story.
I have 297 stories to choose from here. Each student could make one sign, perhaps a second one to offer to another person at the March.
Let me know if anybody’s interested.
