When I personally spoke with the often-publicized former Planned Parenthood director and pro-abortion promoter, Cecile Richards, she was proud to proclaim that she was 100% in favor of taxpayer-funded abortion on demand till birth.
Contrast her with Norma McCorvey, “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade who famously said, “I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life, undoing the law that bears my name.” Hear the crickets? As a defender of pre-born babies, interesting she wasn’t given much press!
Darlings of the media who are pro-abortionists fighting for “women’s reproductive healthcare” (minus 50% of the population who are unborn “little ladies” being exterminated), seem to get all the media coverage.
Will this pattern continue with the upcoming Jan. 23 March for Life in Washington, D.C., where masses gather and remarks will come from President Trump and Vice President Vance? They’ll declare every life is sacred, made in the image of God and deserving protection and proper care.
I’ve participated in nearly 20 of what really is one of the most significant events of 2026, inspiring millions to remain convicted, courageous, and committed to take a stand for a culture of life! As Neil Diamond (currently battling Parkinson’s Disease, appreciating the dignity of human life in a deeper way) once sang, “Pack up the babies and bring the old ladies and everyone come!”
25 Females at the Forefront of the Pro-Life Cause
After the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, multitudes across America repented of complacency and cowardice on the cultural issues of our day. Evidence of an “awakening” has been seen in an uptick of church attendance, Bible sales, high school and college ministries, plus cultural engagement in areas like the pro-life movement. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow and leader of Turning Point USA, is an outspoken proponent for protecting pre-born babies.
Dr. Alveda King, the once pro-abortion niece of Martin Luther King Jr., is one of the most passionate prolife leaders in America today. She, like millions of compassionate Americans, serves tirelessly to rescue babies and direct women to pregnancy resource centers around the nation where staff and volunteers counsel, care for, and come alongside their sisters to guide them on the path to birthing or giving the child to a couple waiting to adopt.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest woman in American history to hold this prestigious position, and she unashamedly and boldly stands and speaks for the unborn in development in a mother’s womb. She just announced she’s elated to be pregnant with baby number two!
CNN had a commentary titled “Open Your Eyes Prolife Feminists are Everywhere.” Not all women now and in the past, identify with the “feminist” label, but lots are “coming out of the closet” to refute misinformation and deception that what’s growing in a mother’s womb is just a blob of tissue!
Open Our Eyes
The prophet Elisha had to instill fortitude in his frightened friend because of a multitude that seemed overwhelming. He said, “Do not be afraid, for there are more with us than with them…Lord, open his eyes and let him see” (2 Kings 6:16–17)!
Look at more lovely ladies present and past following God‘s Word, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of those in need” (Prov.31:8-9).

Here’s the deal: Before she died, I had the privilege of spending time with the pioneer of the March for Life, attorney Nellie Gray. She said we must “keep the flame burning to protect, developing babies in the womb.” Let’s all do what we can. For Christmas I sent out DVDs on this issue. On the eve of this historic event, pray and participate any way you can to protect unborn babies right to life.
