The March for Life is appalled by the Supreme Court’s decision today which failed to hold Louisiana abortion facilities accountable for their numerous health and safety violations. The legislation at issue in June Medical Services v. Russo was designed to safeguard women’s health and safety, which the abortion business in Louisiana egregiously sidelined for the sake of profit. No abortion facility should receive a free pass to provide substandard care. This decision underscores the importance of nominating and confirming judges who refrain from legislating from the bench, something pro-life voters will certainly remember come November.”

We thank House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy for his brave leadership today in forcing a vote on the floor of one the most pro-abortion House of Representatives in history. This resembles a bill passed in 2002 that ensures protections for babies born alive and repercussions for those who would leave these little ones to die. It is deeply saddening that anyone would vote against such basic protections for the most vulnerable among us. We were honored to have two speakers at the 2020 March for Life who shared their own stories of survival after botched abortions. We will continue to advocate for the discharge position to force more votes on this important piece of legislation so that constituents know where their representatives stand on this common-sense piece of legislation.”

First-ever official California March for Life to take place in Sacramento on June 23rd, 2020

SACRAMENTO, CA – March for Life is honored to partner with the California Family Council to organize the first-ever official California March for Life on June 23^rd, 2020 in Sacramento, California. Marchers will rally at the state capitol to call for an end to pro-abortion extremism in the state.

“We are delighted to partner with the California Family Council, a solid pro-life, pro-family organization, to help plan and launch the first-ever California March for Life. The march is an opportunity for California pro-lifers to unite and encourage state legislators to craft policies that respect the rights of the unborn,”  said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Defense and Education Fund. “Every human life has dignity and our laws must reflect that.”

Jonathan Keller, President of California Family Council​, said, “California claims to be the epicenter of the ‘progressive’ agenda, but when it comes to treating every human life with dignity and respect our Golden State has a tarnished record. That’s why California Family Council is thrilled to partner with our friends at the March for Life to host a peaceful gathering on June 23 on the steps of the Capitol. We invite all people to join us in celebrating God’s gift of life from conception to its natural end. Let us all recommit ourselves to liberty and justice for all – born and unborn.”

The California March for Life will start with a rally at the State Capitol at 12:00 pm PT, followed by a march at 1:00 pm PT. More details, including a list of speakers, to be announced soon.

I applaud Senators Sasse and Graham for sponsoring, respectively, two important pro-life bills, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. These bills provide basic, necessary protections under the law for the most vulnerable in society: survivors of failed abortions and the unborn. It is deeply disappointing that some elected officials in the Senate have promised to block even legislation that mandates medical care for children who survive an abortion – an extremist view shared by all Democratic presidential candidates. While any abortion is one too many, the reality is that overwhelmingly Americans want to see greater protections for the most vulnerable and these bills are a strong step in the right direction. Thanks to the leadership of Senator McConnell, senators will have an opportunity to stand with the majority of the American people who support these crucial measures.
