NFL Hall of Famer Tony Dungy Will Attend 2023 March for Life

Tony Dungy, former Indianapolis Colts head football coach, announced Thursday that Lauren and he will be attending Washington, D.C.’s 2023 March for Life.

Dungy announced that he would also attend the event alongside Benjamin Watson, former New England Patriots and fellow pro-life advocate.

“Tomorrow Lauren and I will be in Washington DC attending the 2023 March For Life,” He said. “It will be my first time at the March and I’m looking forward to joining my friend @BenjaminSWatson and thousands of others who will be there to support those unborn babies who don’t have a voice.”

This year’s march is expected to be an extra festive event since it is the first march since Roe v. Wade was overturned last June. Dungy will be present at the event and will deliver a speech to the thousands of pro-life advocates.

The former Steeler and Colt has shown no hesitancy to defend the unborn despite his current position as a mainstay on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock (D), described himself in December 2020 as a “senator for Georgia.” “pro-choice pastor.”

I am a prochoice pastor.

The next day, Dungy responded by questioning Warnock’s Christianity, given his views on abortion.

Rev Warner might be a pastor. My question is “Is he a Christian?” Is he a follower of Jesus’ teachings? Does he believe that God’s Word is the Bible? https://t.co/cabHEGB2XX

Dungy challenged Warnock to reaffirm his pro-abortion stance in an exchange that followed.

“It all comes down to what you believe about the organism growing inside the mother,” Dungy explained. “Is it a life or not? If it is just growing tissue then your ‘choice’ makes sense. If it’s a life then it’s obviously not OK to choose to end it. What does your Bible tell you it is? Psalm 139:16.”

Dungy took President Biden to task on another high-profile occasion.

“I’m curious as to what new information the President has gotten that has changed his mind on abortion and life? Reading the article, he seemed to talk about what his faith required him to accept. What has caused him to move away from that faith-based position?” Dungy wrote.

Largely due to 1973 Roe V. Wade, the March for Life was established. Friday will mark almost 50 years since Roe was struck down. The marchers will also celebrate the victory and map the next steps for pro-life in a country where abortion has become a state issue.
