Pro-Life Waco demonstrators held a “dawn to dusk” rally Tuesday on the Interstate 35 pedestrian bridge at South Eighth Street.

"Anti-abortion" is the proper terminology to use when referring to these folks...if they were really "pro-life", they would demonstrate a more caring attitude about children after they are born.
