Students for Life of America (SFLA) has scheduled <\/span>several rallies<\/span><\/a> to protest U.S. Senators who recently voted against the <\/span>\u201cborn alive\u201d bill<\/span><\/a>, which would have protected babies born after failed abortion attempts. Hundreds of pro-lifers have expressed interest in the events on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

SFLA issued a statement on March 1 to make the rallies known to the public. \u201c<\/span>Students for Life of America announced today a series of rallies outside the offices of Democratic Presidential candidates who voted against protecting babies who are born alive during an abortion by refusing medical care,\u201d the statement read. \u201c[A] new poll finds that <\/span>80% of Americans want limits on abortion<\/span><\/a>. Furthermore, <\/span>only 7%<\/span><\/a> of Millennials, the supposed base of the Democratic Party, agree with their platform on abortion. That is why the Pro-Life Generation will be rallying and holding Senators accountable for their vote.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Lamb, SFLA\u2019s Director of Communications, told <\/span>Live Action News<\/span> the organization is \u201cdedicated to holding politicians accountable for their voting record. Many of the Senators we are rallying against want to be President… and we believe that our country should be led by people who respect human life. Their position on infanticide should give all voters pause.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The series of rallies, called the \u201cResist Infanticide Rallies,\u201d has been scheduled for March 5 and will occur nationwide at the offices of pro-choice senators including Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker. The rallies are organized by Students for Life of America\u2019s new sister organization, Students for Life Action, which was <\/span>created<\/span><\/a> in response to the radical pro-choice legislation proposed by New York and Virginia. <\/span>SFLA <\/span>says<\/span><\/a> the new organization will \u201cenergize pro-life voters nationwide\u201d and help the pro-life movement \u201cget ready for the day after Roe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Students for Life Action experienced immediate success at its first rally. In January, the group protested a radical Virginia abortion bill sponsored by Delegate Kathy Tran, who was featured in a <\/span>widely-circulated video<\/span><\/a> conceding that her bill would have allowed abortion moments before birth. The protest was held outside of a town hall meeting led by Del. Tran, and the meeting was <\/span>canceled<\/span><\/a> as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n
