SDRTL Executive Director Jenn Lee and Associate Director Dale Bartscher attended the Governor’s State of the State address yesterday as South Dakota’s 101st Legislative Session officially began. Over the next nine weeks, SDRTL will be actively representing you at the Capitol — advocating for life, supporting strong pro-life legislation, and opposing measures that threaten the most vulnerable.

Governor Larry Rhoden’s address reaffirmed South Dakota’s standing as one of the most pro-life states in the nation and highlighted the serious dangers of the abortion pill. We are grateful for a governor and legislative leaders who are committed to protecting life, and we remain vigilant as this important session gets underway.

Your involvement matters. Stay informed, pray for our legislators, and be ready to take action when critical bills are heard. We will provide timely updates and opportunities to engage throughout the session.

Hello, my name is Gracie Zeeb. I am the president this year of Jacks for Life. We are a college club on the SDSU campus that seeks to promote life from conception until natural death. We meet every three weeks as well as attend and host different events. This year we are fortunate enough to be attending the national March for Life in Washington DC in January. We have 23 students going! After our fundraising events we only have a few students that do not have their trips fully paid for.

If you or someone you know would like to support our group whether financially or through prayer, please share this need with them. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Email gracie.zeeb@jacks.sdstate.edu for donation information, or, give here by typing "Jacks for Life" into the "In Honor of" category on the giving page. Thank you so much for helping equip the next generation to stand for truth and life.

You are cordially invited to attend this year’s Hour of Reflection, taking place in the Capitol Rotunda in Pierre, along with our annual March for Life. We are honored to welcome Jenna Spellerberg, RN, Nurse Manager at Alpha Center, as our keynote speaker. The program will also feature special music by Kate McKeehan.

Join us for this inspiring event at the South Dakota State Capitol on Sunday afternoon, February 1st, as we come together to advocate for the sanctity of life at all stages. The march around the Capitol will begin at noon, led by LIFE Runners Founder, Dr. Pat Castle, with the program following inside the Capitol at 2pm (CST). We look forward to your presence at this important gathering.

We are so thankful for your heart for moms, dads, and babies in SD. We love our partners!
