Announcing the Fourth Annual Virginia March for Life

It’s time to mark your calendars for the fourth annual Virginia March for Life! 

We are excited to announce that we are once again partnering with the Family Foundation of Virginia to organize the fourth annual Virginia March for Life on Wednesday, April 27th 2022, in Richmond, VA. We hope you will join us at the state capitol as we rally together to build a culture of life in Virginia, particularly at this pivotal time in history as Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance.

With a new, pro-life administration in power, your voice is all the more critical in encouraging our elected officials to be courageous in enacting life-protective policies for babies and mothers. They are beginning such work! In January,  newly elected Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares reversed the Commonwealth’s position on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a crucial abortion case soon to be decided by the Supreme Court. Under former Governor Northam, Virginia shockingly opposed Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act limiting abortions after 15-weeks; however,  Attorney General Miyares has reversed course arguing that each state should have the right to enact life-affirming laws.

“Pro-life Virginians sent a clear message in November that the days of the abortion industry dominating Richmond are over,” said Victoria Cobb, President of the Family Foundation in Virginia. “But the fight is never over. Our elected officials need to be reminded every day that unborn children in Virginia deserve protection until the day that abortion is not just illegal, its unthinkable.”

March for Life Statement on the Biden Administration Nomination of Ketanji Jackson

March for Life opposes President Biden’s anticipated nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the United States Supreme Court based on her record of judicial activism. We expect her to be a reliable vote for the far left and the Biden administration’s radical abortion agenda. Consider the widespread national division and millions of unborn lives lost as a result of one activist decision in Roe v. Wade. Every American – born and unborn – deserves equal protection under the law. We urge the Members of the Senate to stand for our nation’s mothers and most vulnerable unborn by rejecting this extreme nominee, and we encourage the nomination of a judge who will honor our Constitution and the right to life.

Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life

March for Life Statement on Senate Confirmation of Robert Califf to Head of FDA

Despite the research and science which includes thousands of documented adverse events caused by chemical abortion drugs, Dr. Califf has acted to advance a pro-abortion political agenda. Under his leadership in 2016, the FDA recklessly loosened reporting requirements associated with these dangerous drugs at a time when increasing health and safety oversight was needed. Women deserve better than a FDA that prioritizes politics over their health and safety.
