The retired NFL coach announces it will be his first time attending a major conservative event
Former NFL coach Tony Dungy announced Thursday that he will be attending Friday’s March for Life in Washington, DC.
the Washington Examiner reported in October that Dungy would be speaking at the pro-life event.
The March for Life began against the Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in America. This will be the first march since the Supreme Court overturned the Roe decision and said that decisions about the legality of abortion should be left to the states.
“Tomorrow Lauren and I will be attending the March For Life 2023 in Washington DC. It will be my first time at the March and I look forward to joining my friend [Benjamin Watson] and thousands of others who will be there to support these unborn babies who have no voice,” Dungy wrote on Twitter, referring to his wife.

I’m curious what new information the President received that changed his mind on abortion and life? As he read the article, he seemed to be talking about what his faith required him to accept. What caused him to move away from this faith-based position?

“If you think abortion is wrong, say so. If you don’t believe the fetus is alive, say so. But if you believe abortion ends a life then you can’t say anyone has the right to do so,” he wrote in response to another post.
