On the story of college football's national championship championship, Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh stopped by the 2024 March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Friday to give a short address to the thousands of marchers.
The coach of the 2024 college football champions, who is openly pro-life, joked that the snow day was “a perfect day for football.”
“Thank you everyone for being here. This is a great example you're setting,” he told the crowd as he took to the stage to introduce Benjamin Watson.

He also Said The Daily Caller argues that the right to life is one of the most important of all rights.
“You know, we all talk about human rights. There are no rights that matter unless there is a right to life.” He said from the podium, according to Fox News. “Today is a great day for marching. Today is a great day for the sanctity of life, and [it is] Soccer weather. Let's have a great day. ”
It was the first time the 60-year-old coach spoke at the March for Life.
Harbaugh has spoken out about his pro-life stance for years. It's like when he criticized liberals in 2020 for wringing their hands to overcome the coronavirus and save lives while supporting killing babies in the womb.
“We're seeing people become more concerned about the sanctity of life,” Harbaugh said of efforts to protect people at the start of the pandemic. “And I hope that continues. I hope that it continues and not just during this crisis and pandemic time.” But he added: “We talk about the sanctity of life, and yet we live in a society that aborts babies. There is nothing more horrifying than that.”

In 2022, he further strengthened his pro-life stance, saying: I love life. I believe in loving consideration and respect for life and death. My faith and science drive my beliefs. ”
He even vowed to help his players make life choices if they got their girlfriends pregnant.
“I said [them] The same thing I say to the kids, boys and girls, the same thing I say to the players and staff.I encourage them, if they have an unplanned pregnancy, to get through it and get over it,” Harbaugh said. Said. “Let that fetus be born. And if you don't feel you can or don't have the means or means to care for that baby at that time, Sarah and I will take that baby.”
