I'm Chris Elkins, narrating today's article written by Denison Forum CEO and co-founder Dr. Jim Denison.

The National March for Life is tomorrow in Washington, D.C., followed in two days

abortions nationwide declined by 6%.

If this trend persists, there could be at least 60,000 fewer abortions this year as a result of dubs.
