Over 50,000 people thronged the streets of Madrid on March 12 for Spain’s March for Life.
The annual event, called the Yes to Life march, was sponsored by over 500 organizations belonging to the Spanish Yes to Life Platform (Plataforma SI A LA VIDA).
The March took place two weeks earlier than its customary date of March 25, the feast day of the Annunciation and the International Day of Life, to “facilitate attendance from all cities in Spain to Madrid,” according to the Yes to Life Platform. The marchers protested “laws and practices that threaten life and human nature at every moment of life” in Spain, such as abortion, euthanasia, and transgenderism.
The march began at noon, leaving from Calle Serrano, and ended at the Plaza de Cibeles.
