(St. Paul- MN) On Tuesday, Senator Dan Hall joined thousands of Minnesotans at the state Capitol in St. Paul for the annual March for Life to give voice to the idea that human rights belong to all human beings and that both unborn children and their mothers deserve our support and compassion. The annual March marked the 46th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions, which made abortion legal for any reason and stripped a whole class of innocent human beings, unborn children, of protection under the law.

“Today, we gather to mark the 46th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade to talk about abortion and the 60 million unborn children killed by it,” said Senator Dan Hall. “As the father of 8, and grandfather to 14 beautiful children, I have always known that each life unique and has value and should be protected. I will continue to protect innocence and advocate for those without a voice for as long as I am at the capitol.”

Following the March, legislators and Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) introduced their 2019 legislative agenda during a brief program on the Capitol steps. The organization will work with lawmakers to enact legislation ensuring women have the option to view their ultrasound before undergoing an abortion. Ultrasound is usually performed before an abortion, but women generally aren’t offered the chance to see. Similar legislation passed through both the Minnesota House and Senate last year, but it was vetoed by Gov. Mark Dayton.
