                           HON. DARIN LaHOOD

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 21, 2022

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize the thousands of 
faithful and devoted students from central and west-central Illinois 
and around the country who are participating in this year's March for 
Life celebrations. The March for Life began in Washington, DC, as a 
small demonstration and has since become the largest pro-life event in 
the world.
  I am proud to represent Catholic schools in my district, like Peoria 
Notre Dame High School, Quincy Notre Dame High School, Routt Catholic 
High School in Jacksonville, Sacred Heart-Griffin High School in 
Springfield, and Bloomington Central Catholic, as they continue to show 
unending and unwavering support for the pro-life movement. I am honored 
to recognize the efforts of pro-life advocates across the 18th District 
who have

worked tirelessly to protect unborn infants and provide necessary 
support and resources to pregnant mothers.
  On this 49th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling, we must continue 
to pursue a national culture that promotes and protects life for all 
individuals. The right to life is a human right, and it is critical 
that our current and future generations work towards a pro-life future. 
Students, such as the ones that I represent in the 18th District, 
continue to play an integral role in fighting for the lives of the most 
vulnerable.
  As we aspire for a world where every life is celebrated and 
protected, I want to commend the support for pro-life values in my 
district and the annual support of March for Life celebrations across 
the country.
