Rep. Mary Fallin, R-Oklahoma City, spoke today to a pro-life rally in Washington on the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

She said, “I stand with the men, women and children who participated in today’s March for Life, who continue to hope and pray this grave injustice will be corrected and our laws will someday soon reflect those principles which our nation has traditionally held most dear.”

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, released a statement to the marchers, saying, “To my fellow pro-lifers who are demonstrating today at the U.S. Supreme Court, you are the people who in these challenging times have a message of hope, redemption, and life. With strength and fortitude you have spoken up for those who cannot speak for themselves. You have shown that every child is a blessing, not a punishment; a gift, not a burden.”
