As I was leaving church services on Sunday, a local faith-based-school principal asked me which March for Life would be more important for his students to attend โ€” the state march or the national march for life. My answer: Both! The work to enact pro-life policies is really only just beginning at the state and federal level, now that the power to protect the unborn has been returned to the American people post-Dobbs.

Nationally elected officials take note: Pro-life Americans are eager and ready to continue fighting for life, but they are looking for strong leaders who will show them where is most important to go. We need our members of Congress more than ever to lead by example and show Americans the necessity of both state and federal protections against extreme, life-threatening pro-abortion legislation that contradicts not only popular opinion and science, but also the laws of the majority of the civilized world.
