As we celebrate Independence Day, July 4th, with gatherings of friends and family, good food, and, of course, fireworks, let us remember that our freedom comes from great sacrifice. From the courageous signers of the Declaration of Independence to the brave military service members who have defended us since 1776, let us give thanks to them as we celebrate. Happy 4th!

Kudos to the tens of thousands of women, men and young people who participated in today’s 49th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. in 19 degree weather, and those who marked the day around the country. They are truly the voice of the innocent voiceless.

I am proud to be among the 41% of the State Assembly who refused to support the radical new law protecting late-term, partial-birth, and nearly all other abortions. I will shortly sponsor legislation to repeal this terrible law, and will work with colleagues to gather support in that effort.

In the words of Alveda King, niece of the great civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King whom we celebrate this month, we must “work together for life and human dignity from the womb to the tomb.”
