NEW SPEAKER CONFIRMED FOR “NATIONAL CELEBRATE LIFE WEEKEND”: Congressman Bob Good of Virginia Will Speak at Second Anniversary of Roe v. Wade Reversal in Washington D.C. THIS WEEK

“Last year’s National Celebrate Life Day was a moving experience, celebrating the end of an injustice and the beginning of new opportunity for change,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “Still, we are in a marathon, not sprint, for the hope that the more than 65 million lives lost will not be joined by countless more. This is the human rights issue of our day.”
