Washington, D.C. – The March for Life announced today that Kellyanne Conway, President of the polling company, inc./WomanTrend, and highest-ranking woman in President-elect Trump’s administration, will speak at the 44th annual March for Life, the world’s largest annual pro-life demonstration, in Washington, D.C. on January 27th, 2017.
Conway will join other notable speakers including Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, former Planned Parenthood Director and founder of ‘And Then There Were None’ Abby Johnson, Mexican Telenovela star Karyme Lozano, author and radio host Eric Metaxas, Bishop Vincent Matthews of the Church of God in Christ, who advocates for adoption in the African-American community, and more at the March for Life rally on the National Mall on January 27th, 2017.
“We are thrilled to have Kellyanne Conway speak at this year’s March for Life. As the first female to run a successful presidential campaign and as a steadfast advocate for life and family issues, Kellyanne beautifully embodies the 2017 March for Life’s theme, ‘The Power of One’,” says Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life.
“Our other speakers also personify ‘The Power of One’ theme and show how one person has the power to change the world and saves lives,” Mancini concluded. “It is our hope that this year’s March for Life will encourage each of us to seek and fulfill our unique mission to the best of our ability because only in doing so we will collectively build a culture of life in the U.S. — a culture where abortion is unthinkable.”
Tens of thousands of Americans are set to travel from across the nation to D.C. for this year’s March for Life, which seeks to promote the dignity of every human life and to stand against the greatest human rights violation of our time – abortion-on-demand. More speakers and guests to be announced soon.

Pro-Life Priorities in the New Congress
During the election season, abortion was one of the top two most searched topics on Google. Americans were very interested in what the candidates were saying about abortion. Ultimately, the most pro-abortion presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost resoundingly.
>>>> Read Jeanne Mancini’s op-ed, Abortion lobby lost big this election — life is a winning issue.
While the elections are now over, our most important work as pro-life advocates is now beginning.
Last week, the 115th Congress was sworn in. The new Congress presents the pro-life movement with many opportunities to pass pro-life legislation and advance a culture of life.
Our pro-life priorities for 2017 include:
- No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act, codifying the Hyde amendment and federal funding of abortion.
- Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, restricting abortion after 5 months of pregnancy, at which point babies can feel pain.
- Legislation defunding Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
- Ensuring that legislation that replaces Obamacare is pro-life with strong conscience protections.
- Confirming judges that will uphold the U.S. Constitution.
>>>> See March for Life Action’s announcement on a comprehensive pro-life congressional scorecard.
Already, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has indicated the legislation defunding Planned Parenthood will be a priority.
That is great news!
Planned Parenthood is our nation’s largest abortion provider, aborting over 320,000 babies every year. Plus, the organization has been caught trafficking aborted babies’ hearts, lungs, livers and brains.
Americans shouldn’t be forced to fund Planned Parenthood, to the tune of half a billion tax dollars each year. That federal funding should be redirected to trusted health providers, not given to the abortion industry.

Abortion advocates have indicated they will be putting up a fight to protect Planned Parenthood funding. Just yesterday, we were bombarded with scores of nasty messages after tweeting out the following:
Now more than ever, pro-life Americans must speak up. Not only through social media, but it is imperative that our Congressman and Senators hear directly from us that defunding Planned Parenthood and protecting unborn lives is a priority for the new Congress and new Administration.

America has a pro-life consensus, and we must urge our lawmakers to be bold on life!
