Washington - Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement after House passage of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 4712):

"Today's vote reaffirms the intrinsic value of all life. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a common-sense bill that recognizes that all children born alive should be provided the same protections, regardless of circumstances of their birth.

Washington - Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement greeting the 45th Annual March for Life:

On other hand, it is uplifting to see so many young people come out year after year in the bitter cold to fight for the rights of unborn children. On this 45th anniversary of the March for Life, the pro-life community should also be praised for their work the other 364 days of the year in helping all mothers and children."
