Kellyanne Conway will address tens of thousands of pro-life activists at the 44th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. on January 27.
The counselor to President-elect Donald Trump, Conway will be a prominent speaker at the world’s largest pro-life demonstration, which is held each year on or around the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States. The theme of this year’s March for Life is “Power of One.”
“We are thrilled to have Kellyanne Conway speak at this year’s March for Life,” says Jeanne Mancini, MFL president. “As the first female to run a successful presidential campaign and as a steadfast advocate for life and family issues, Kellyanne beautifully embodies the 2017 March for Life’s theme, ‘The Power of One.'”
Conway will join other national pro-life leaders: Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan; founder of “And Then There Were None” and former Planned Parenthood director-turned pro-life advocate Abby Johnson, Mexican Telenovela star Karyme Lozano, author and radio host Eric Metaxas, and Bishop Vincent Matthews of the Church of God in Christ, who advocates for adoption in the African-American community.
This year, with a new Republican president in office, pro-life activists are anticipating the elimination of Planned Parenthood’s defunding and the repeal of Obamacare, with its mandate that requires many employers to provide contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs to their workers through health insurance plans.
“It is our hope that this year’s March for Life will encourage each of us to seek and fulfill our unique mission to the best of our ability because only in doing so we will collectively build a culture of life in the U.S. – a culture where abortion is unthinkable,” Mancini added.
The March for Life will begin on the grounds of the National Mall and travel to the front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
