2025 National Pro-Life Recognition Award

Awarded to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen - the governors in the three states that defeated pro-abortion ballot amendments in 2024!

Gov. Ron DeSantis, FL

Gov. Kristi Noem, SD

Gov. Jim Pillen, NE

Also recognized were pro-life advocates in all 10 states who worked tirelessly to defeat the 2024 pro-abortion ballot amendments (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York and South Dakota), as well as those in Minnesota and Arkansas who successfully kept the amendments off the ballot.

Likewise, we recognized those in additional states who had abortion-related ballot measures over the last two years, namely, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Kentucky, California and Vermont. The pro-life leaders and groups in those places were recognized for their hard work as well.

The three winners of the Stand True Youth Outreach pro-life essay contest were announced and received their awards at the prayer service. The 2026 winners be announced at the 2026 service.
