Georgia Pro-Life Advocates Gather by the Thousands for Zell Miller Speech

Atlanta, GA (LifeNews.com) --

Thousands of pro-life advocates gathered outside the Georgia Capitol this week to mark the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The event included an apology from former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller, who said he was sorry for his tardiness in supporting the pro-life cause. Police estimated the crowd at between 3,500 and 4,500. Miller, a Democrat who backed pro-life President George W. Bush in his re-election bid, called Planned Parenthood and other groups supporting abortion “the death industry.” Demonstrators are supporting a bill, now before the state legislature, which would require an ultrasound or a sonogram before an abortion can take place. The rally eventually wound its way through the streets of downtown Atlanta as demonstrators staged a silent one-mile march.
