25 Famous Females Who Stood for Life
When I personally spoke with the often publicized former Planned Parenthood director and pro-abortion promoter, Cecile Richards, she was proud to proclaim that she was 100% in favor of taxpayer-funded abortion on demand till birth.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
Contrast her with Norma McCorvey, “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, who famously said, “I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life, undoing the law that bears my name.” Hear the crickets? As a defender of pre-born babies, it’s interesting she wasn’t given much press!
Darlings of the media who are pro abortionists fighting for “women’s reproductive healthcare” (minus 50% of the population who are unborn “little ladies” being exterminated), seem to get all the media coverage.
Will this pattern continue with the upcoming January 23rd March for Life in Washington, DC, where masses gather, and remarks will come from President Trump and Vice President Vance? They’ll declare every life is sacred, made in the image of God, and deserving of protection and proper care.
I’ve participated in nearly 20 of what really is one of the most significant events of 2026, inspiring millions to remain convicted, courageous, and committed to take a stand for a culture of life! As Neil Diamond (currently battling Parkinson’s Disease, appreciating the dignity of human life in a deeper way) once sang, “Pack up the babies and bring the old ladies and everyone come!”
25 Females at Forefront
After the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, multitudes across America repented of complacency and cowardice on the cultural issues of our day. Evidence of an “awakening” has been seen in an uptick of church attendance, Bible sales, high school and college ministries, plus cultural engagement in areas like the pro-life movement. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow and leader of Turning Point USA, is an outspoken proponent for protecting pre-born babies.
Dr. Alveda King, the once pro-abortion niece of Martin Luther King Jr., is one of the most passionate pro-life leaders in America today. She, like millions of compassionate Americans, serves tirelessly to rescue babies and direct women to pregnancy resource centers around the nation where staff and volunteers counsel, care for, and come alongside their sisters to guide them on the path to birthing or giving the child to a couple waiting to adopt.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest woman in America’s history to hold this prestigious position, and she unashamedly and boldly stands and speaks for the unborn in development in a mother‘s womb. She just announced she’s elated to be pregnant with bambino number two!
CNN had a commentary titled “Open Your Eyes, Pro-Life Feminists are Everywhere.”
Not all women now and in the past, identify with the “feminist” label, but lots are “coming out of the closet” to refute the misinformation and deception that what’s growing in a mother’s womb is just a blob of tissue!
Open Our Eyes
The prophet Elisha had to instill fortitude in his frightened friend because of a multitude that seemed overwhelming. He said, “Do not be afraid for there are more with us than with them… Lord, open his eyes and let him see” (2 Kings 6:16-17)!
Look at more lovely ladies present and past following God‘s Word, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of those in need” (Prv. 31:8-9).

Here’s the deal: Before she died, I had the privilege of spending time with the pioneer of the March for Life, attorney Nellie Gray. She said we must “keep the flame burning to protect developing babies in the womb.” Let’s all do what we can. For Christmas, I sent out videos on this issue. On the eve of this historic event, pray and participate in any way you can to protect unborn babies’ right to life.

Praise God! Thank you for giving us the names of these women whom the media ignores in favor of those who want to kill babies!
Heavenly Father, we praise you that there are many people who stand up for life, the life of the unborn. Many of these voices are women who see God’s perfect design. Yet the devil and the world shroud the information of the sanctity of life and of the many people who are pro-life supporters. We pray for Your pro-life supporters to be as great hordes of heralds to overwhelm the devil and his evil accomplices, e.g. the media, educators, etc. and enlighten the mass of humanity to recognize they share life with the millions of others who have not yet passed through the womb. And, Lord, grant that each of us may examine our hearts to determine how we can best stand up for life, through social interaction, pro-life giving, petitioning the government, etc. Lord, also protect the crisis pregnancy centers from the leftists who want to snuff them out just like they snuff out the lives of the unborn. Lord, may Your pro-life message transform us, transform many in the most ultimate way, that is through a redeemed, everlasting life in You. Lord, I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Many, many years ago, I drove a girlfriend to an abortion clinic to have an abortion. I thought I was helping. Her boyfriend was back at their apartment having a party with friends. We returned to his toasting us with a beer! His girlfriend went to her bedroom, alone, in both physical and emotional distress. I was forever changed.
I use to believe prochoice was helping the woman. I was not helping. I was aiding in the murder of a baby. God forgive me.
Since then, I have volunteered at Birthright and have truly helped pregnant women. They do not need a driver to an abortion clinic. They need a friend. They need support and a listening ear; someone to help guide them and plan for the arrival of this new life.
I recently welcomed my granddaughter, born at just 1 pound 14 ounces! She is so tiny, yet every finger and toe perfectly formed. She is a miracle from God. She was deserving of life from the moment of her conception; completely human, a baby. To have had her aborted, would have been to kill my 6th granddchild.
We live in a world where life is de-valued, as if deleted from a social media post.
However, Jesus gave a powerful warning, as in Luke 17:2 that it would be better for someone to have a large millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these “little ones”.
Pray with me that people will be changed and see life of the unborn as more than something to be deleted. Each unborn life is completely human and has the right to be born.
Please note that in the above comment, (From Theresa) an important word is missing. The word is “harm”…. Jesus warned that a person should not “harm” one of these little ones.
Amen! Praying with you in agreement, Theresa, in Jesus’ Mighty Name!
And thank you for all you do for pregnant women and their babies at Birthright, Theresa! You are SO right, women facing an unplanned pregnancy don’t need a driver to an abortion clinic, they need a FRIEND! Your post is full of wisdom and love.
And congratulations on the new Grandbaby! God bless!
