“this week is the 48th annual March for Life. It is an event when thousands of Americans come together to advocate for the value and protection of unborn human life. They will be coming together this year differently than they have for almost 50 years, but for almost 50 years, millions of people have marched to Capitol Hill to try to build a culture wherein every human life is valued and every human life is protected. That includes tireless women and men and children from my home State of Missouri who come to Washington, both individually and along with the Missouri Life Caravan, every year. It will be the first year in a long time I haven't spoken to that group in person, but as they meet virtually, their cause is still as resonant as it is in person. I know that Missourians will continue to advocate for life. They will continue to remember the unborn and those whom we have lost from abortion. This year's theme of the march is ``Together Strong: Life Unites!'' It is a pretty hard theme to argue with no matter how you feel about this particular topic. ``Unity'' doesn't mean believing the same thing about everything, but it does mean agreeing about one very important thing in terms of this event, and that important thing, of course, is the value and protection of life. This belief in life cuts across religion. It cuts across party lines. It cuts across geographic boundaries.…”
