Palmer Welcomes Pro-Life Constituents to Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Palmer released the following statement after many of his constituents arrived in D.C. to show support for pro-life efforts.
"I am heartened and greatly encouraged to know that many of my constituents came to Washington to peacefully stand up for the lives of unborn children," Palmer said. "I stand with them in the belief that the right to life is sacred and that life must be protected from its earliest stages. The Supreme Court's 1973 ruling in favor of abortion must continue to be challenged if we are to adhere to our nation's founding principles. The Declaration of Independence states that each person has the ‘unalienable rights' of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' Life is the first and most basic right that makes all other rights possible. It is the prerequisite. I'm grateful for those who have fought for the rights of the unborn since 1973, including so many from the Sixth District who have added their voices to the cause."
January 22 will mark the 46th anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that violated the core principle and promise of the Declaration, the unalienable right to life.
