Friday morning, Representative Tim Huelskamp took part in the Catholic School Life Rally in Wichita, Kansas. Started by St John’s Catholic High School, the event has grown nationally, asking students of Catholic high schools from around the country to pray outside of abortion clinics. Rep. Huelskamp issued the following statement about his involvement today:

“I am truly humbled and honored to have the opportunity to participate. These high school students are courageous and very clearly understand the power of prayer. Abortion is a true evil on the heart of America — the merciless murder of unborn babies. Its barbarism and brutality is glossed over by the leader of our Country. It is my hope through vigils like these that we can raise up a generation that will help heal this land.”

Congressman Huelskamp is a lead member of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus.
