“At Students for Life Action & Students for Life of America, we both march for life and lobby for life,” said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins. “It’s an incredible week when we can do both. Pro-Life Generation leaders nationwide have sent in more than 50,000 signed petitions, calling on Congress to follow through with President Trump’s mandate to reduce the role of the federal government in abortion by defunding Planned Parenthood. More than 50,000 petitions will be delivered to the Speakers Office calling on our elected leaders to debar and defund the nation’s number one abortion vendor, Planned Parenthood.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (01-23-2025) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will embark on a crucial federal lobby day Thursday, Jan. 23, to discuss with key Congressional members our clarion call to reduce the federal engagement with abortion by debarring and defunding Planned Parenthood, as well as advocate for our legislative roadmap, Make America Pro-Life Again. This is a day before the national pro-life march, timed in remembrance of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision and two days before Students for Life of America’s (SFLA) Pro-Life Summit.
As our newly released Pro-Life Generation’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement Poll reports, younger registered voters – Millennials & Gen Z almost half of the electorate – don’t support the abortion radicalism of the Democratic Party Platform.
As reported in our poll:
Almost 7 in 10 support some limits on abortion. (67% to 33% — UP FROM 65% IN 2024).
MORE than 3 in 10 Youth Voters (31%) “would be MORE WILLING to accept limits” if families got the help they need.
LESS THAN 1 in 10 (9%) supported the Democratic Party Agenda of abortion without limits, through all 9 months, up to and including infanticide for a baby born during a botched abortion. (To note, the Democratic Party Presidential ticket included Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who stopped abortion reporting in his state after it was reported that at least eight babies were allowed to die following botched abortions.)
Human Rights for Human Beings begin early: 6 in 10 said human rights begin while a child is still in the womb. Only 2% said rights begin when a court says so. ONLY 25% said human rights begin after birth.

“Americans voted for a president who has protected Life, and many of these federal legislators can do the same,” said Hawkins.
