Youth 02-2025
It was a real joy to help LIFESPAN send a total of 74 people – Jr. High and High School students, young adults, parents and chaperones to Washington, DC for the 52nd March For Life, the 3rd Post-Roe March. I heard a lot of good things about the trip and saw a lot of terrific pictures! Thank you all for joining LIFESPAN and thank you all who gave support through monetary donations and your prayers for a safe and inspiring journey!
People ask “why do we still go to DC to March”? Well, our most important work as Pro-Life Advocates is changing hearts and minds to save precious pre-born lives and save women from physical, emotional, and spiritual harm. The goal of the March for Life in DC is not only to change laws at the state and federal level, but to change the culture to ultimately make abortion unthinkable! Many of us are dedicated to march with hundreds of thousands of others in our nation’s Capital until a culture of life is restored throughout the whole United States of America! It is very important to keep “marching for Life” by being engaged in the pro-life movement in whatever ways you can!
Attached you will find some of our upcoming events before the school year ends. Hopefully many of you will be able to attend Be the Change in March and the Celebrate Life Dinner in May. Also, there are Baby Showers taking place in March where donations will be accepted by those who want to participate (see the flyer for all the locations). These are great ways to stay engaged! For Be the Change, please register online by March 1st by going to: https://righttolifelifespan.regfox.com/2025-be-the-change. There are two locations to choose from (Auburn Hills or Livonia).
In addition, I included the Michigan March for Life bus trip we will be offering in November (day trip to Lansing) and the DC March for Life bus trip we will be offering in January 2026. That way you can plan ahead for thes Marches! 😊
In a video message at the Rally before the March, the 47th President of the United States promised to ‘stand proudly for families and for life.’ I wanted to share a small part of his message:
We will work to offer a loving hand to new mothers and young families, and we will support adoption and foster care. We will protect women and vulnerable children.
Under my leadership, a reformed Department of Justice will finally investigate the radical left attacks on churches and crisis-pregnancy centers, and we will bring perpetrators to justice. We will get them to justice, one way or the other.
To all of the very special people marching today in this bitter cold, I know your hearts are warm and your spirits are strong because your mission is just very, very pure: to forge a society that welcomes and protects every child as a beautiful gift from the hand of our Creator.
Thank you for never losing hope and never giving up. Thank you for your tremendous support. God bless you, and God bless America.

Right after the President’s video message, our Vice President took the stage to a very excited large crowd! Part of his message included:
We are proud to march with you; and, yes, we will be back next year.
The excitement, the passion, the unwavering conviction that every single person here on the National Mall clearly feels. It is deeply moving to me and means more to President Trump and I than I could possibly say.
I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them.
We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages, one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market, but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country..
Now yesterday, President Trump issued a strong endorsement of the Born-Alive Abortion Act, ensuring that those babies who survived botched abortions enjoy the equal protection under law, which is the obligation of every citizen to enjoy in this country.
With his return to office, no longer will the federal government direct FBI raids on the homes of people like Mark Houck and other Catholic and Christian activists who are fighting for the unborn every single day. And no longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists, elderly grandparents or anybody else in prison. It stopped on Monday, and we’re not going to let it come back to this country.
Thank you for being here, and thank you for marching here today; and most importantly, in your works, you remind us that the March for Life is not just a single event that happens on a frigid January day. The March for Life is the work of the pro-life movement every single day from this point forward. Now, it is a lifelong call to action, a moment in time; but every single day that you guys do what you do, from supporting young moms and dads to fighting for the unborn, to working with our legislatures at the state and federal level, you make it possible for us to stand here and say that America is fundamentally a pro-baby, a pro-life and a pro-family country.
It is a joy and a blessing to fight for the unborn, to work for the unborn and to march for life! God bless you all, and thank you for having me. It’s an honor to be with you.
