Republicans control the House, Senate and have a governor that's not running for reelection. If prolife supporters want to make a substantial change to abortion law-- now is the time.

That was the message a group of hundreds brought to the statehouse, Thursday. Packing the rotunda, they urged lawmakers to waste their remaining weeks in the session.

"This is the time to do it,” said Bob Vander Plaats, head of social conservative group The Family Leader. “That's why we're saying seize the day, seize the opportunity. What we would like to do is have this be the most prolife session since Roe v. Wade happened."

To date, Republicans have fallen short of that goal. A "personhood" bill establishing life at conception died earlier this year. The GOP also couldn't get enough votes to support an amendment banning abortions at the sound of a heartbeat. It was dropped in a house committee fewer than 24 hours before the rally.
