Jindal was slated to speak at a January 2005 March for Life rally along with, among others, Chris Smith and Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). Nellie Gray, president of the March for Life Fund, described the event: "The March for Life is a peaceful demonstration – an annual reminder to all of Washington officialdom that it must overturn the Supreme Court's infamous Roe v. Wade decision which decriminalized the intentional killing of a preborn human." [March for Life Fund Release, 1/21/05 (via U.S. Newswire, Link here as of 11/05)]

[Baton Rouge Advocate, 10/26/03]
