“This year marks the first annual New Jersey March for Life. In this critical time, the March for Life, partnering with New Jersey Right to Life, will stand up for the support and protection of both expectant mothers and their unborn children. We will call upon all pro-life residents of New Jersey to join us in marching and rallying in Trenton- every voice matters, and we need you with us!” said Jeanne F. Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund.

“NJ’s first ever March for Life promises to be the largest pro-life gathering ever held in New Jersey. We are excited and honored to partner with the March for Life to be a voice for the human life and dignity of both mother and child. Rather than being mutually exclusive of one another, we believe both lives have equal value, are inextricably intertwined and therefore should be protected by virtue of their humanity. It is for this reason that the NJ Pro-Life Movement is proud to be united in our commitment to love, support and walk with Moms in need so they can choose life for themselves and their babies” said Marie Tasy, President of New Jersey Right to Life.
