WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven today issued the following statement in recognition of the 44th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.

“The March for Life is an important opportunity for our citizens, of many ages and from many different regions, to come together united in the cause of protecting the sanctity of human life. I am proud that North Dakotans have the opportunity to lead the march this year and that our state continues to be so well-represented at the largest pro-life event in the world. Thank you to all in attendance for your dedication to this cause.
