The 2012 Campaign for Life Gala

The Campaign for Life Gala celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was the keynote speaker.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) gave a keynote speech at the 20th Anniversary of the Susan B. Anthony List 5th Annual Campaign for Life Gala. Rubio was in attendance, along with fellow members of Congress like Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.).

Rubio thanked young pro-life women in his speech and called Roe V. Wade a "bad constitutional law."

The Susan B. Anthony List Gala traditionally awards members of Congress and young pro-life women for their efforts.

The organization, along with its connected Political Action Committee, the SBA List Candidate Fund, are dedicated to electing candidates and pursuing policies that will reduce and ultimately end abortion.
