John,

On January 22, America marked the 49th anniversary of our Supreme Court once again dehumanizing a segment of our population: the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.

Historically (and sadly), the Supreme Court’s greatest achievements are often correcting its gravest errors. It is likely the Court will do this with Roe v. Wade, having heard the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health case in December. The Court's decision is expected to be announced this summer.

Today, we see and know what our ancestors had to believe: that life begins at conception. We now do surgery and protect the health of unborn children like never before.

Roe has made us a nation of schizophrenics.

On one hand, we don’t allow pregnant women on a roller coaster, serve them ten whiskeys at a bar, or let Scott Peterson off the hook for the 2nd-degree murder conviction of his unborn son, Conner. On the other hand, we have states taking advantage of Roe to allow abortion all 40 weeks of gestation, putting us in a shameful category with only a few countries, including Canada, Vietnam, North Korea, and China.

Facebook is full of heart-wrenching stories of parents fighting and praying for their babies in a NICU while Gov. Ralph Northam calmly articulates on the radio how to let unborn babies who survive an abortion...Click here to read the rest:

From Washington, D.C. to Austin, Texas to San Diego, 40 Days for Life commemorated the Roe v. Wade anniversary with a presence at marches, rallies, and walks across the country.

At the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, we presented Kathryn Amdahl with the 4040 Scholarship--$4,040 toward her tuition.

The scholarship is made possible by a donor who wants to inspire, encourage, and reward students who are making an impact on campus...

...and Kathryn certainly is! A junior at Eastern Washington University, she serves as the local 40 Days for Life campaign leader in Spokane, Washington.

Kathryn has reached out to 500 churches in her region for her campaign, launched her school's pro-life student group, knocked on countless doors doing pro-life outreach, and collected thousands of baby supplies for local pregnancy help centers.

Check out the television broadcast of the scholarship presentation here:

Kathryn's tireless advocacy for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies is helping to make Generation Z more and more pro-life!

Tune into this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, where we discuss new research showing that young people are more pro-life than the media would have you believe...and why many more are ripe to become pro-life:
