Kristan Hawkins: Boots on the Ground in D.C. 🥾
Kristan, the president of Students for Life of America, joined live while zipping up her boots to march in the cold. She shared this:
President Trump pardoned 23 pro-lifers. Kristan had been persistent about these pardons, texting her contacts at the White House: “When is this happening?!”
She also delivered 50,000 petitions to defund Planned Parenthood (a.k.a. the organization using $700M in taxpayer money to end 320K+ lives annually).
Kristan rallied around the need for unity in the pro-life movement post-Dobbs: “This is not the end; it’s just the beginning.” Let’s go, soldiers of life! 💪
Ryan Bomberger: From Rape to Redemption ❤️
Ryan shared his deeply moving story. Conceived in rape, adopted into a loving family and now a father himself, he’s living proof that every life has purpose. 🍼✨
He called out the “exceptions” argument, saying, “I was conceived in rape but adopted in love.” 💕
Ryan mentioned the beauty of adoption as a life-giving alternative to abortion. “Adoption restores what was broken,” he said. And for those who think pro-lifers “don’t care after birth,” his family is Exhibit A of love in action.
Mayra Rodriguez: From Planned Parenthood Director to Pro-Life Advocate 🚨
Once a Planned Parenthood Employee of the Year, Mayra is now a passionate whistleblower. She exposed the industry’s targeting of minorities, especially Hispanics:
She explained that clinics are deliberately placed in Hispanic and minority neighborhoods. Planned Parenthood even uses immigration fears to pressure Hispanic women into abortions: “Abort your baby so you won’t get deported.”
Mayra’s mission is to make abortion unthinkable, not just illegal. Her focus? Healing broken families and helping abortion workers leave the industry. 🙏
Shawn Carney: On Defunding Planned Parenthood, for Real This Time 💸❌
Shawn, co-founder of 40 Days for Life, was fired up:
Defunding Planned Parenthood could finally happen under President Trump’s leadership. (Planned Parenthood relies on taxpayer dollars for a third of its income!)
He urged everyone to sign petitions and stay engaged, pointing out that when funding dries up, abortion clinics close.
Big Themes from the March for Life:
The battle isn’t over post-Roe. Ryan reminded us that abortion laws are now in the hands of states, and the fight is fierce. Evil may be relentless, but God is more relentless.
Unity is key. We need an army of hope-filled, prayerful warriors for life. 🕊️
Closing Thoughts
The March for Life was a renewal of purpose. We’re fighting for life, one heart at a time. Whether it’s defunding Planned Parenthood, encouraging adoption, or transforming the culture, this is a battle we can win.
Let’s lace up our boots and march forward! 🥾✨ #ProLife #MarchForLife #ChooseLove
