Four U.S. politicians, including two Democrats, will speak at the 2019 March for Life, joining an estimated 100,000 Americans who will gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Friday, January 18 to peacefully protest legal abortion.
In a bipartisan show of support for the pro-life movement, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) and State Rep. Katrina Jackson (D-La.), will join U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) onstage at the national march.
Pro-life politicians are rare in the Democratic Party, which generally maintains that a woman's "right" to have a "safe" and legal abortion is non-negotiable, and ostracizes those who disagree.
March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said she was "delighted" that the four politicians would appear at the march, and added that the right to life "is a non-partisan issue. . . We are delighted to have these four pro-life champions speak at the March for Life rally," Mancini said. "The right to life is a non-partisan issue and, regardless of politics, we should all unite for life and stand against abortion, the greatest human rights abuse of our time."
