Des Moines Stand Up Rally Report
Posted by Jenifer Bowen (October 26, 2012 at 5:15 pm)
After 2 dreary, rainy days in Iowa, the clouds parted and the sun came out, as if on cue, for the Stand Up for Freedom Rally in Des Moines on the steps of the Iowa State Capitol.
The crowd of about 120 were met with enthusiasm from pro-life student group speakers from Iowa State and Simpson colleges.
Jenifer Bowen, Iowa Right to Life, read a statement from Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds that they would always stand with us in protecting and promoting the religious freedoms of all people.
Stand Up for the unborn, for those living with regret, for the wounded, for the Truth!
The clarion call for those in attendance came from Monsignor Frank Chiodo who reminded us of our heritage and the cost for religious freedom.
Everyone enjoyed the weather and the speeches and most mingled around long after the rally talking with the speakers.
