Charlie Kirk Will Receive National Pro-Life Award for Fighting Abortion
Charlie Kirk stood up for many causes but as Dick Morris pointed out recently in his book about Charlie, the primary cornerstone of his public advocacy was the right to life of the unborn.
He insisted that every human life deserves protection, and he loved to support the pregnancy center movement.
“It’s not enough to be against abortion,” he said at an event in 2023. “We have to actually help women choose life.”
The life and legacy of the founder of Turning Point USA, killed by an assassin’s bullet as he spoke to students at Utah Valley University last September, will be in the spotlight at this year’s National Prayer Service, to take place Jan. 23 at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.

“The light shines in the darkness, and Charlie Kirk was a witness to the light, and to the truth, and to life,” said Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone, who will deliver the keynote address at the service. “It was always an honor to discuss the abortion issue with him, both on and off the air, and to collaborate in fighting ballot initiatives and electing prolife candidates.”
Despite being assassinated at the age of 31, Kirk’s influence will only grow, Pavone said.
“Charlie Kirk built a movement, and that movement will continue and grow stronger. As has been said for centuries, the blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians.”
Pavone will present the “National Prolife Recognition Award” posthumously to Charlie, and it will be accepted on his behalf by one of the key leaders from Turning Point USA.
The 31st annual National Prayer Service, held annually on the morning of the March for Life, also will celebrate America’s 250th birthday and the right to life recognized in our Declaration of Independence.
The actor Liche Ariza from the television show The Chosen also will address the gathering, and winners of Priests for Life’s pro-life essay contest will be introduced.
Co-sponsoring the interdenominational service this year are the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, American Principles Project, Bott Radio Network, Thomas More Society, Human Life Alliance, The Justice Foundation, Operation Outcry, Timothy Plan, Intercessors for America and George M. Hiller Companies, LLC.
Constitution Hall is at 1776 D St. NW, at 18th and D Streets. The event is free, tickets are not required and large groups can be easily accommodated.
