Hundreds of marchers gathered at Cathedral Square in Salzburg and where each given a large white cross to carry as they marched peacefully through the city.
When they reached the State Bridge, the marchers threw dozens of roses into the river in remembrance of the lives ended by abortion in Austria.
Marchers then took part in a special "Mass of Atonement" for abortion supporters.

According to LifeSiteNews.com, incidents of verbal, sexual and psychological abuse by these "escorts" outside abortion mills against pro-lifers has been caught on camera on numerous occasions.
