A Voice for the Voiceless
Take a Stand for
Life in Georgia
The 2027 Georgia Stand for Life serves as a memorial to the more than 65 million preborn children whose lives were taken by abortion since 1973. It is also an opportunity for those who advocate for life to be encouraged and educated in their continued efforts to bring equal protection to children in the womb in Georgia.
Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) has hosted this annual event every year for over 40 years to bring public awareness to the issue of abortion and the millions of people who are missing from our world as a result.
- MARCH with hundreds of Georgians as we take to the streets of downtown Atlanta to bring public awareness to the issue of abortion and the millions who are missing from our society as a result.
- JOIN a community of passionate individuals working together to bring equal protection to children in the womb in Georgia.
