The event was organized by Oregon Right to Life, Oregon Family Council, Common Sense for Oregon and the Anti-Crime Alliance.
Speakers at the event included Carol Tobias, President of National Right to Life, Oregon State Party Chair Aret Robinson, as well as several State lawmakers including Rep. Jason Conger (candidate for U.S. Senate), Rep. Bill Kennemer, Rep. John Huffman and Rep. Vic Gilliam.

The big turnout pleased organizers, who said they weren’t sure what to expect when they first announced their break-off rally.”It sends a message that these issues are still important,” said Teresa Harke of the Oregon Family Council, one of the rally’s sponsors. “We can’t desert our principles.”
