Supreme Court and overturning Roe versus Wade.
But some Kentucky anti-abortion advocates still say more needs to be done.
That was the message of their annual March for life rally, and students were center stage.
Pro-Life movement has always been powered by something simple but incredibly powerful stories.
Every person here today has a story about why they believe in being pro-life.
And today, I want to talk about one group whose stories are shaping the future of this movement and an incredible way young people.
For too long, people have assumed that the next generation would drift away from the pro-life movement, that we would accept the culture around us and ignore the fact that over 25% of our generation was aborted.
And that is just in the studies.
We know that we would just ignored it, ignore it and disregard it.
But something incredible has happened across Kentucky and across the country.
Young people are stepping up to say yes.
Legislators have filed abortion related bills this session.
One that is creating a stir is House Bill 714, which criminalizes any woman who has an abortion.
The woman who has had an abortion is no less a victim of Satan's temptations than the child who is aborted.
Our approach to these issues has been the healing through the power of the sacraments in the scriptures.
Of those victims of those who have had abortions and been its victims.
Our approach to, women who have had an abortion has been to accompany them, to walk alongside them.
Both women who have taken this action and women who are in danger of taking this action.
It is an approach that is rooted in the healing ministry of Jesus.
So I see your signs.
No one's ignoring you.
We simply disagree with you.
We simply disagree with your approach.
The bishop called for the advocates of House Bill 714 to not lead with anger, but forgiveness.
The right to life Kentucky Virgin Group also wants to prevent abortion pills from coming into the state.
That's a stance.
That's the focus of House Bill 646.
