As thousands of pro-life activists march on Washington D.C., members of Alabama’s Republican Congressional delegation are showing their support for the pro-life, anti-abortion cause.
The annual March for Life kicked off Friday, with Vice President J.D. Vance speaking at the event, and President Donald Trump giving a speech to the rally goers via video.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) released a video on X Friday morning, telling pro-life activists to never give up on the fight for life.
To the thousands of Americans – including many Alabamians – marching in today’s @March_For_Life, THANK YOU.
Keep marching, keep using your voices, and keep fighting until EVERY human life is protected. pic.twitter.com/hj3t9aPglb

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said she “keep fighting alongside” those against abortion.
Grateful for the volunteers and supporters of @March_for_Life who advocate tirelessly for life. I’ll keep fighting alongside you in the Senate through legislation like our MOMS Act, supporting moms and children at every stage. pic.twitter.com/TtG3e3TWOP

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) released the following statement in support of the Washington, DC March for Life:
“I have always and will always fight for the lives of unborn children, and I am elated to finally have an ally in this fight in the White House. Today, many Alabamians will gather on the National Mall with a renewed sense of optimism in the understanding that the dark days of Roe v. Wade are behind us. It has never been clearer to me that our state deeply cares for these innocent lives. There is still work to be done, and I am excited to collaborate with my colleagues in Congress and with President Trump to be a voice for the voiceless.”
The D.C. rally is happening just days after House Republicans passed the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.” The bill that would require health care practitioners to provide the “same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence” for a child born alive during a botched abortion, as they would during normal childbirth.
U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said he “proudly” supported the bill.
“I proudly voted in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act because I believe innocent lives deserve to be protected. It should not be controversial for a baby to receive life-saving medical care after surviving a botched abortion. This should be common sense. When a baby is born alive, it should be entitled to the same critical medical care as any other living, breathing newborn,” Palmer said. “By voting against this bill, Democrats are saying that the lives of these survivors are disposable. I firmly believe that no life is disposable, and I will continue to work to advance pro-life policies.”
U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) believes the legislation shouldn’t have been this hard to pass.
Proud to support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to ensure infants born alive after an attempted abortion will receive the same level of care as a newborn. It’s a shame that it took so long to pass, but I’m glad that @HouseGOP got it done.
