Bachmann Participates In The Minnesota March For Life
Statement
U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) addressed hundreds of Minnesotans today at the State Capitol as they gathered to take part in the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life March for Life to observe the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Congresswoman Bachmann issued the following statement to commemorate the event:
"As millions of Americans March for Life today, it's important to remember what is at stake because in one year alone, we've seen an onslaught of attacks on life and the unborn from this Congress and this Administration.
"We saw Democrats vote overwhelmingly against an amendment that would make Planned Parenthood ineligible to receive money for so-called "family planning' services through appropriations funding for the Department of Health and Human Services. We saw the ban lifted on abortion funding for the District of Columbia. Funding for abstinence education was eliminated as well. And almost a year ago to this day after Americans marched to remember the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the President rescinded the Mexico City Policy, thereby making available millions of dollars to foreign NGOs that promote and perform abortion. The list goes on. While the majority of Americans are increasingly identifying themselves as pro-life, we have a Washington controlled by liberal Democrats who are hell-bent on promoting abortion as a viable means of birth control. It just doesn't make sense and more importantly, these actions are grossly out of touch with the American people.
"While Americans take time today to remind their elected officials of the importance of human life, we remember that we are not alone. Communities, churches, non-profits and dedicated individuals are working hard to educate unexpected mothers and fathers and provide care and supplies for those who decide to foster and not destroy life. If our efforts mean a single life is saved, it is worth it, for there is no value on the difference one life can make."
