Pro-life Advocates to Address Marchers in Atlanta on March 6, 2025

Atlanta, GA – Today the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, partnered with Georgia Life Alliance, announces speakers for the 2025 Georgia March for Life taking place on March 6th in Atlanta. 

Marchers who gather in Liberty Plaza to peacefully advocate for pro-life protections will be addressed by notable speakers including our keynote speaker Benjamin Watson, former NFL tight end, writer, speaker, and pro-life advocate; Georgia State Senator Ben Watson M.D., District 1; April Chapman, commentator, activist and host of The Standard of Truth Podcast; Felicia Pricenor, Esq., Vice President of Government Affairs, March for Life; Claire Bartlett, Executive Director, Georgia Life Alliance; The Most Reverend Gregory Hartmayer, OFM Conv., Archbishop of Atlanta; Reverend W. Thomas Hammond, Jr., Executive Director, Georgia Baptist Mission Board; and more!  

Jennie Bradley Lichter, President, March for Life Education and Defense Fund: “The Georgia March for Life unites hundreds from across the state to stand together for mothers and their unborn children.  Our 2025 theme, Life: Why We March, invites marchers to focus on the fundamentals: each life has inherent dignity from the moment of conception, and the heart of the pro-life movement is about providing resources and support to pregnant women and families.   

Despite continued legal attacks from pro-abortion advocates, Georgia’s Heartbeat Law is saving lives.  Dozens of community-based Pregnancy Resource Centers across the state are helping expectant mothers and families in need, every day. But our work in Georgia is not done. Our next challenge is to support and protect the health and safety of Georgia’s women and their babies through protecting them from dangerous chemical abortion drugs, and providing the resources needed to flourish.  We will keep working and keep marching until that goal is achieved.  

Together with our partner, Georgia Life Alliance, our wonderful speakers, and all of our dedicated marchers in Georgia, we march so that one day abortion is unthinkable in Georgia, and across the nation.” 

Claire Bartlett, Executive Director, Georgia Life Alliance: “Even with Georgia’s LIFE Act in full effect, Georgia still has one of the highest abortion rates in the country. Over 83% of abortions in our state are by the abortion pill cocktail – a full 20 points above the national average. At least 2 Georgia women have died from these dangerous drugs. This is why the 2025 Georgia March for Life and our partnership with the March for Life is so important to our state.  It’s more than a rally, more than a march. It’s a bold way to joyfully share our life-affirming message to our state legislators and to the media that our work to protect women, girls, and the unborn is far from over.”   

The Georgia March for Life on Thursday, March 6, 2025, will start with a rally at the State Capitol building at 11:00 am ET followed by the March at 12 pm ET.
