E Ihowā Atua, O ngā iwi mātou rā Āta whakarangona; (see note about spelling of whakarangona) Me aroha noa Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tō atawhai; Manaakitia mai Aotearoa

Ōna mano tāngata Kiri whero, kiri mā, Iwi Māori, Pākehā, Rūpeke katoa, Nei ka tono ko ngā hē Māu e whakaahu kē, Kia ora mārire Aotearoa

Tōna mana kia tū! Tōna kaha kia ū; Tōna rongo hei pakū Ki te ao katoa Aua rawa ngā whawhai Ngā tutū e tata mai; Kia tupu nui ai Aotearoa

Waiho tona takiwā Ko te ao mārama; Kia whiti tōna rā Taiāwhio noa. Ko te hae me te ngangau Meinga kia kore kau; Waiho i te rongo mau Aotearoa

Tōna pai me toitū Tika rawa, pono pū; Tōna noho, tāna tū; Iwi nō Ihowā. Kaua mōna whakamā; Kia hau te ingoa; Kia tū hei tauira; Aotearoa

+E Ihowā Atua,
-The '''March for Life''' is an annual rally held in [[Washington, D.C.]] in support of life and against [[abortion]].  It is held on a date near January 22, the date on which (in 1973) abortion on demand was upheld in ''[[Roe v. Wade]]''.  {{before on after|2021|01|18|'''''This year the march was held on Friday, January 24, 2020.'''''|The 2019 march is taking place today.|<!--{{before on after|2021|11|28|<br/>before|day of|after}}-->}}<br />

-The '''March on Life''' is among the largest annual gatherings in the [[United States]] of citizens engaging in [[self-government]].  '''The movement is a constantly growing crowd of currently about 400,000 people gathers annually'''.<ref name="March for Life">http://www.marchforlife.org/</ref>  By comparison, the biggest sports events attract attendance of only 100,000–250,000, and the biggest cities can accommodate tourism of only about 200,000 at any particular time.  The last March for Life was held on Friday, January 18, 2019, in [[Washington, D.C.]]

-The March for Life began in 1974, on the first anniversary of ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'' (1973).  In addition, over 100,000 gather around the nation in various cities, such as on the West Coast.  A historically significant March for Life in D.C. was held on Friday, January 25, 2013 – near the 40th anniversary of [[Roe v. Wade]].<ref name="March for Life"/>

-The March for Life was founded by the late Miss [[Nellie Gray]], who led it for nearly four decades. She also set up a non-profit organization by the same name which provides educational workshops typically the day before the [[March]].  Many organizations and groups from across the nation attend the March for Life.  For example, [[Conservapedia]] has led large groups to the March for Life each year beginning in 2009.

-The influence of the March for Life might be estimated to be approximately 25 times its attendance, as the average person who attends is bound to communicate his participation to 25 others (at a conservative estimate).<ref>Some, such as clergymen, obviously influence far more.</ref>  '''''An attendance of 400,000 thereby influences perhaps 10 million persons annually, and during a period of a decade the cumulative overall influence reaches perhaps 50 million persons in a personal way'''''.
+Tōna pai me toitū
+Tika rawa, pono pū;
-The March for Life has grown to participation by about 1 in every 400 Americans from East of the [[Mississippi River]].<ref>The population East of the Mississippi River is estimated to be about 178 million.</ref> Additional people from across the nation and out West also travel to attend the March for Life.  In Canada, a March for Life is held on May 12th each year.
+Tōna noho, tāna tū;
+Iwi nō Ihowā.
-The 2019 March for Life saw a first: President [[Donald Trump]] spoke live at the March, the first time a sitting President has spoken live at the event (in prior years, a President who addressed the March did so via prerecorded video).
