On Friday, thousands of Minnesotans gathered virtually to support the annual March for Life. On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalized abortion on demand nationwide. Each year, pro-life Minnesotans mark the anniversary by gathering at the Capitol in St. Paul.

Senator Jason Rarick (R-Pine City) issued the following statement:

“I believe in the value of life.  Even when it is unplanned or imperfect, each life carries value. As a legislator, it is my responsibility to represent and protect the unborn. As a state, it should be our goal to ensure that each child is welcomed into life and protected under our laws and that tragic situations should be avoided whenever possible.”
