Kentucky Right to Life Brings the Pink to DC!

Our work is a life-affirming pilgrimage—one rooted in prayer, learning, witness, and hope.

“Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” (Psalm 84:5)

Greetings from Washington, DC!

Leaving Kentucky behind for a few days, we are here to immerse ourselves—to learn, pray, and march—with life-affirming advocates from around the nation.

Day One began with a few special surprise tours I had planned on Wednesday just for our team.

Day Two started early as we attended the The Leadership Institute - Pro-Life Advocates Conference, joining more than 30 national pro-life speakers and leaders. This evening, we will conclude our day by joining thousands in prayer at the National Shrine.

Friday-Tomorrow, we will join students from Louisville’s Immaculate Academy for Church and then the Kentucky girls head to the 2026 March for Life, concluding the day with evening events for life-affirming advocates.

On Saturday, the girls will head home, and I will remain in D.C. to take part on our National Right to Life Board meeting before flying home on Sunday.

Snapshot on day one… These Kentucky girls made it to Washington, DC—

On Wednesday, Kentucky girls have made it to Washington, DC—along with suitcases full of pink gear—to show our nation’s capital that we are “Taking Back the Pink” from the hands of Planned Parenthood. On the first day of our pilgrimage for this week’s National March for Life, we received many compliments from passersby about our colorful outfits. Some of those moments even opened the door to meaningful conversations about our passion for preserving the sanctity of life and allowed us to meet fellow marchers who will walk alongside us on Friday.

Day One…Historic Lessons on Honoring Life

Today, we thank God for safe travels, both in the air and on the ground. We spent the day settling into our home for the next few days and quietly honoring the lives that came before us—lives that forever changed the course of our future.

Day one, we walked through the Holocaust Museum and in the evening toured our nation’s monuments—stopping at the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, Iwo Jima, and more—we were given space to pause and reflect.

Although these monuments and museums are familiar to me, this pilgrimage revealed them anew. Planned with intention and purpose, each stop became part of our preparation for the mission we are on, the lives we serve, and the truth we bear witness to.

In those moments, we were reminded that the sacrifices and courage of those who walked before us continue to shape who we are today—and call us to carry their legacy forward.

As we reflected on the more than six million lives lost in the Holocaust, stood before monuments honoring the wars fought for freedom, and remembered the heroes who pledged their sacred trust and gave their lives so that we might live free, we were reminded that history never forgets how a people defend human dignity.

These sacred places bear witness to the cost of silence and the courage required to stand for truth. This life-affirming pilgrimage was intentional—meant to prepare us for the mission we are called to, the lives we serve, and the truth we bear witness to.

Strengthened by remembrance and renewed in purpose, we move forward resolved to defend life, honor sacrifice, and be faithful witnesses to the dignity of every human person.

In those moments, we were reminded that the sacrifices and courage of those who walked before us continue to shape who we are today—and call us to carry their legacy forward – to defend life, honor sacrifice and be faithful witnesses to the sacred dignity of every human person.

Our work is a life-affirming pilgrimage—one rooted in prayer, learning, witness, and hope.

Every Life is a Gift,

Walking through the Holocaust Museum, you are met with the chilling reality of one of the most tragic eras in history, an atrocity that occurred not so long ago. One moment that continually stops me in my tracks is the shoe display. These shoes were left behind by countless victims just moments before they took their final breaths in gas chambers at Auschwitz.

They removed their clothing because they believed they would finally be getting a shower after hours of forced labor and a grueling train ride to the camp. The shoes on display are only a fraction of the precious artifacts never to be touched again by those victims. Every shoe tells a story, a life that deserved to be cherished and treated with dignity, but was violently taken from them. Man, woman, child, death did not discriminate in these camps throughout years of persecution of the Jewish people.

Walking through this museum reminded me of the lives of the unborn, who share a similar truth to those victims in the camps.

Their precious and valuable lives are taken before they ever have the chance to be protected. Death does not discriminate against them either. Working for Kentucky Right to Life, even in the short time that I have, has only reinforced my belief that this work is vital because we believe that every person deserves a life with dignity. God created each and every one of us in His image, and now more than ever, we are called to protect our brothers and sisters in Christ, just as Jesus Christ has called us to do.

May we never forget the lessons of history, and may we allow them to guide our actions today. Let us be a voice for those who cannot speak and choose, every day, to defend the dignity of every human life.

Every Life is a Gift,

Join us in Frankfort Rain, Snow or Sunshine March 11th!

Let’s march with love, courage, and unwavering hope.
