LANSING, MI– Tomorrow, Right to Life of Michigan (RLM) and the national March for Life are hosting the first-ever Michigan March for Life in Lansing. This event takes place on the one-year anniversary of the passage of anti-women, anti-life Proposal 3.
The Michigan March for Life is a peaceful gathering of Michigan citizens of all ages and backgrounds from every corner of the state committed to stand for women and children, including the unborn. There is a special focus on actively standing with women facing an unexpected pregnancy to help her make a courageous, hopeful choice for life.

“There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm across the state as we head into the Michigan March for Life. The extreme proabortion, anti-women policies being pushed in our state legislature have reminded voters who truly stands for and with women and are motivating young and old alike to action. I am grateful for the many organizations working with us to make the state march possible. I look forward to seeing so many faces I know, and many new ones join to peacefully advocate the choice for life,” said Barbara Listing, President, Right to Life of Michigan.
