Speakers Announced for Upcoming Virginia March for Life

 

First ever official Virginia March for Life will take place in Richmond, VA on April 3rd, 2019

RICHMOND, VA – The March for Life, in partnership with The Family Foundation, Virginia Catholic Conference, and the Virginia Society for Human Life, are thrilled to announce speakers for the first ever official Virginia March for Life. Speakers will include Melissa Ohden, a survivor of a saline infusion abortion and Ryan Bomberger, founder of The Radiance Foundation. Melissa Ohden and Ryan Bomberger will join Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life, Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation, Olivia Gans Turner, President of the Virginia Society for Human Life, and Felicia Pricenor, Associate Director of the Virginia Catholic Conference in addressing pro-life advocates who attend the Virginia March for Life in Richmond.

The Virginia March for Life, to be held on the “Veto” Day of the Virginia legislative session, comes after the controversy sparked by State Delegate Kathy Tran who introduced legislation that would, similar to the radical new law in New York, allow abortion up until birth, for any reason. Governor Northam endorsed this extreme pro-abortion legislation and even went so far as to suggest doctors could make a decision on whether to provide care for a baby that survived a botched abortion.

The March for Life urges every pro-life Virginian to take a stand for life at the Virginia March for Life on April 3. Learn more at VirginiaMarchforLife.org.

March for Life Statement on the Senate’s failure to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

 

“Senators who could not bring themselves to vote to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act should reconsider whether or not they have what it takes to serve. Senator Sasse’s common sense bill would merely require doctors assist a newborn struggling to survive after a failed attempt on her life. Anyone who lacks the basic level of human compassion needed to vote in favor of this should quickly find another job. We look forward to a vote in the House of Representatives so that Chamber can get on record as well.” – Jeanne Mancini, March for Life President

March for Life Applauds the New Title X Regulations

 

“It is absolutely appropriate that the new Title X regulations take into account the difference between abortion and healthcare. Abortion is neither healthcare nor family planning which is why the Title X program has no business funding it. We applaud HHS Secretary Azar and the Trump administration on this move that protects American taxpayers from paying for abortion through Title X. At the same time, the new regulation protects low-income women who rely on Title X assistance because no funds will be cut from the program. In fact, those women in need will receive services at federally qualified health centers (FQHC) which outnumber abortion centers 20:1. At FQHC’s women benefit from better regulatory oversight, a wider range of services, and more life-affirming options. The new Title X regulations are a win-win for all Americans.”

We will bring together and mobilize countless pro-life Virginians who are appalled by the past few weeks’ pro-abortion activity in their beloved state,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Defense and Education Fund. “Given such an extreme pro-abortion agenda, it is imperative for all of us to stand together for the rights of the unborn. Every human life should be valued and protected.”

March for Life applauds President for highlighting life in State of the Union

 

“We applaud the President for condemning the extremist abortion propositions out of New York and Virginia and for calling on Congress to ban late-term abortion during his State of the Union Address. The American consensus opposes abortion after the first trimester, yet some politicians continue to embrace and perpetuate an unprecedentedly radical pro-abortion agenda. Among them are Virginia Governor Ralph Northam who recently condoned infanticide and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who, by bringing Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen as her guest tonight, has pledged her allegiance to an organization that continues to endorse legislation that allows abortion until birth.

While politicians like these are in step with a powerful abortion lobby, they are out of touch with the American people. We ask Congress to heed President Trump’s call to pass legislation prohibiting late-term abortion as well for a quick floor vote in the Senate on the Born-Alive bill so that Governor Northam’s infanticide fantasy may never be reality. It is time for politicians, regardless of party, to stand up in favor of protecting innocent life.”

– Tom McClusky, March for Life Action President
