Lydia Taylor Davis, Spokesperson and Strategic Partnerships Advisor for Students for Life of America, and one of our speakers at the 2025 Florida March for the Preborn said:
“Preborn babies in Florida must be protected at the moment of conception and we will continue to march for them. I’m proud to support the Florida March for the Preborn as they fight abortion in their state.”
Kimberly Bird of Live Action said:
“Every day in America, over 2,800 precious preborn children are killed by abortion. Now, more than ever, we must continue to raise our voices for them. The Florida March for the Preborn is a tradition that reminds each and every person that we can’t remain silent. Human rights begin in the womb, and every life deserves protection.”
Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, shared:
“The March for the Preborn aims to strengthen believers throughout Florida to make their love for the preborn even more visible, and impossible to ignore. Marches strengthen our message, our unity, and our visibility. The abortion industry is vocal and public about killing babies. We are vocal and public about saving them.”
Lynda Bell, President of Florida Right to Life, stated:
“Florida Right to Life is proud to sponsor The Florida March for the Preborn. We look forward to a pro-life weekend beginning with our Gala on Friday evening featuring Tim Tebow, then the march on Saturday.”
Christian McGrew, President of Defending Life Alliance of Florida, said:
“We are excited to continue to fight for the Preborn by marching for them across the state. I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful organizations who are joining us in this effort to be a proactive and unified voice for the Preborn in our state.”
