ADF celebrates 51st March for Life, continues legal work protecting unborn lives
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO, President, and General Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.:
“The March for Life isn’t just the largest pro-life event in the world; it’s also a celebration of the inherent dignity and worth of every human life. And it’s a reminder that it’s up to each one of us to protect our most fundamental human right: the right to live. The reversal of Roe v. Wade was a profound moment of hope and a turning point in the cause for life. It opened the door to build a culture of life that supports women, encourages family formation, and empowers parents to welcome their children into the world. We now face unique challenges in supporting states, which have the power and duty, to uphold the sanctity of life in their laws. To that end, we’ve been actively engaged helping many states defend their pro-life laws against legal challenges from the abortion industry. We remain wholly committed to protecting unborn children and ensuring that every mother has the real support she needs.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
