WHEREAS, March for Life has demonstrated outstanding public
spirit through its dedication to the advancement of the pro-life
movement; and
WHEREAS, On January 22, 1974, the March for Life began as a
peaceful demonstration in response to the Roe v. Wade and Doe
v. Bolton decisions, and it has since grown into one of the largest
annual pro-life events in the world; each year, thousands of
civic-minded individuals gather to march on Capitol Hill, and many
more express their support through state marches and donations; and
WHEREAS, In addition to its annual demonstrations, the
organization advocates year round through the March for Life Action
Activist Network; in 2020, this initiative connected more than
200,000 activists with legislators at the local, state, and federal
level; it strives to make lobbying more accessible and ensure that
its members can exercise their civic responsibility; and
WHEREAS, March for Life has benefited from the able
leadership of its president, Jeanne F. Mancini, and the president
of March for Life Action, Tom McClusky; among its goals for 2021,
the organization plans to hold five state marches, expand its
activist network, and increase its outreach on social and
mainstream media; and
WHEREAS, For more than four and a half decades, the members of
March for Life have made a lasting difference through their
political activism, and they may indeed take great pride in their
contributions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commend March for Life on its political
engagement and extend to its members sincere best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
