“This year at the Georgia March for Life, we will send a clear message: the pro-life movement is here to walk With Every Woman, For Every Child. No longer does a mother facing an unplanned pregnancy have to go through her journey alone or feel like she is incapable of raising a child. We will march in Atlanta to give a voice to the unborn and to shine a spotlight on the vital resources available for women facing unplanned pregnancies offered by pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes. Now more than ever do we have the opportunity to truly build a culture of life in Georgia. We are honored to partner with the Georgia Life Alliance to host the Georgia March for Life invite you to join us at the Georgia state capital!” said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life

“In a post-Roe world, with the L.I.F.E. Act in full effect, Georgians still face serious harm and devastation from the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry. That’s why Georgia Life Alliance is proud to partner with March for Life for the Georgia March for Life.  Our collective goal is to restore humanity to the most vulnerable Georgian by protecting unborn children and their mothers so they will make life-affirming decisions they will not deeply regret later.  This is an especially important message for Millenials and GenZers who are bombarded daily with ads and messaging by pro-abortion celebrities and influencers who are pushing dangerous abortion drugs in our state.  We are excited to welcome pro-lifers from across Georgia, from Brunswick to Buford, who are eager to demonstrate their commitment to build a rock-solid Culture of Life that won’t waver.” said Claire Bartlett, executive director of Georgia Life Alliance.
