On November 12, 2020, West Virginians For Life presented to Dr. Wanda Franz the first ever Pro-Life Angel Lifetime Achievement Award during a tribute to her at the 22nd annual Rose Dinner.

Dr. Franz served as President of West Virginians for Life from 1975 to 1990 and as President of National Right to Life Committee from 1991 to 2011. Dr. Franz has spoken on abortion and euthanasia across the U.S. and around the world.

West Virginians For Life introduced and backed this legislation. We’re thrilled it’s now law, and that WV is yet again making nationwide news with pro-life leadership.

Note: It’s newsworthy that our WV legislators succeeded in bipartisan passage of the very thing federal lawmakers can’t even bring to the floor: actionable protection for babies who survive abortionists’ best efforts to kill them. The Mountain State’s leadership continues to be noticed, and we’re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values. We’ve got to keep a pro-life President in office and a pro-life majority in the Senate, to keep getting better judges & justices on the bench at all levels. Your pro-life support and vote are needed now more than ever.
