In January, New York passed an extreme pro-abortion bill<\/a> — the Reproductive Health Act — and just on the heels of this, Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran found herself in the hot seat after video of her comments on a similar proposed bill<\/a> that would allow for abortion up to birth<\/em> went viral. Thankfully, the bill didn’t survive. But since that time, pro-lifers everywhere have begun to take notice of just how extreme abortion supporters truly are. Extreme pro-abortion laws similar to New York’s have since been proposed in multiple states, including Vermont<\/a>, Rhode Island<\/a>, Illinois<\/a>, and\u00a0Massachusetts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pro-lifers in Virginia were likewise outraged by Governor Ralph Northam’s comments<\/a> on the controversial Virginia bill just days later on a radio show. Many believed Northam’s remarks showed support for the practice of allowing abortion survivors to die without intervention — in other words, infanticide. Though it had been planned for months prior, the controversy about the bill has motivated pro-lifers, and on April 3, the very first Virginia March for Life<\/a>\u00a0will be held at\u00a0<\/span>Capitol Square in Richmond. A rally will begin at 11:00 a.m. and the march will begin at noon. As April 3 is the Veto Session of the Virginia Legislature, all state lawmakers will be present at the Capitol.<\/span><\/p>\n

More information can be found at the Virginia March for Life website<\/a>\u00a0(where social media graphics can be found) as well as on the event Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speakers will include abortion survivor Melissa Ohden, The Radiance Foundation president and Founder Ryan Bomberger, president of the March for Life Jeanne Mancini, and more.<\/p>\n

In addition, a grassroots training session, Richmond 101<\/a>, will be held on the day of the march from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the Richmond Convention Center. According to the web page for that event, which costs $15 to attend, “Richmond 101 is a grassroots seminar designed for attendees at the Virginia March for Life to get in-depth training on how to be an effective pro-life advocate at the state and local level.” Register here<\/a> for the training session.<\/p>\n

In addition, a mass will precede the day’s events at\u00a09:00 a.m. at Saint Peter\u2019s Catholic Church in Richmond.<\/p>\n
