WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today released the following message addressing this year’s March for Life in Washington, D.C., which many Louisianians and Americans attend:
“I want to thank everybody—each and every one of you—who came here to Washington today to celebrate God's greatest gift: life.”
. . .
“Here in the Senate, I've been able to question a number of witnesses and officials who—believe it or not—support abortion up until the moment of birth.”
. . .
“In my judgment, that's just a barbaric position, and I don't think the American people support it.”
. . .
“
When radicals push hard for these indefensible positions, we just have to have good people like you to stand up in front of God and country and speak up for innocent life.
“I know it's not easy, but it's the right thing to do, and I thank you for doing it.”
. . .
“[T]his is what I believe: Every life is precious . . . and everybody deserves a shot at life—no matter where they come from.
“I am praying that this year's march is as successful as ever, and that it spreads this message far and wide.”
. . .
“God bless all of you and God bless the mothers and the unborn babies you are working so hard to protect.”
