(Fargo, ND) -- North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer is speaking in support of pro-life demonstrators taking part in Friday's March for Life in Washington D.C.

"I've always promised the people of North Dakota that I would fight for life at all stages and I will always fulfill that promise. This is an issue of women's rights and it's one of the most important issues of our day, perhaps the most important," said Cramer. 

This is the 49th year of the March for Life.  The first event dates back to 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in the case Roe versus Wade.  This year the Supreme Court has indicated it will allow states to impose tighter restrictions on abortion with a ruling in a Mississippi case in the coming months.  The court could possibly overturn the landmark 1973 decision.
