Students for Life of America and others will gather on Capitol Hill for the “Nation’s Largest Diaper Drive & RALLY” on Saturday. The diaper drive will take place during the “National Celebrate Life Weekend.”
Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, told The Christian Post that the display’s purpose is to remind lawmakers about “the price of their continued inaction.”
The nearly 400,000 diapers represent the estimated number of preborn children killed via abortion at Planned Parenthood facilities this year.
As the Senate considers the House-approved “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which would strip federal funding from the nation’s largest abortion provider, Hawkins wants lawmakers to see the diaper display and remember that the pro-life movement is counting on them to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
Other pro-life organizations, such as And Then There Were None and Sidewalk Advocates for Life, also helped with fundraising for the event.
After displaying the diapers on Capitol Hill, the plan is to give them away to churches, pregnancy resource centers, women, families or others who need them. According to Hawkins, those who want to collect the free diapers can sign up online and request how many and what diaper sizes they need.
