WASHINGTON – Alliance Defending Freedom General Counsel Kristen Waggoner will be speaking at the March for Life rally Friday on the National Mall in Washington. Waggoner will be one of several speakers at the rally mobilizing the national pro-life movement.
“It’s time for our nation’s leaders and its laws to recognize that we all come into being with a purpose—with a one-of-a-kind contribution we alone can make—and that our government owes us the chance to live out our destiny,” said Waggoner. “This year, at long last, that truth may be once again recognized in our law. I am excited to gather with thousands of others across the country as we stand together in support of mothers and their unborn children.”
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.
