Kentucky Right to Life Hosts Impact – Influence – Inspire: Change Makers for Life
Louisville, KY – Kentucky Right to Life, alongside influential voices from across the Commonwealth, launches a collaboration of women influencers to confront the growing culture of “planned death” perpetuated by the abortion industry and the assisted suicide movement.
The theme of the event, “Impact – Influence – Inspire: Change Makers for Life,” highlights the commitment of Kentucky Right to Life and their partners to shape a culture that protects women, families, and the most vulnerable among us.
“Today, we gather with one purpose: to Impact, Influence, and Inspire a culture that values every human life,” said Addia Wuchner, RN, Executive Director of Kentucky Right to Life Educational Foundation, former Kentucky legislator, and bioethicist. “In a society where both the abortion industry and the so-called death with dignity movement aggressively market death as compassion, we are here to confront false narratives with truth.”
Key Concerns Highlighted at the Press Conference:
The abortion industry flooding Kentucky with dangerous abortion pills — aggressively marketed to young women and girls through online marketing and now via gas station ads targeting women and girls in rural Kentucky communities — while minimizing medical risks and abandoning women when complications arise.
Lack of standardized reporting on medical complications occurring with the use of abortion pills.
The growing threat of assisted suicide and euthanasia. Already 12 U.S. states have legalized assisted suicide, and in Canada, one in every 20 deaths is assisted. Starting in 2027, euthanasia will even be available in Canada solely for mental illness.
Disturbing innovations such as death pods in Switzerland, advertised as futuristic “solutions” for suicide.
Commercial surrogacy scandals in California, dozens of children bought and paid for through commercial surrogacy now face uncertainty and exploitation.
Mayday Health chemical abortion campaigns, placing ads in 100 rural gas stations in Kentucky and West Virginia, targeting young women and girls in vulnerable communities.
“These are not acts of compassion — they are commercialization and commodification of life and death,” said Wuchner. “Our goal is clear: through awareness, education, legislation, and outreach, we will stay together using our voices of influence to protect Kentucky women and families, uphold their right to the truth, and defend the dignity of every human person.”
Featured Voices:
Kendall Bailey, Kentucky-based media influencer and podcaster, amplifying thousands of voices for life.
Lily Sumner, Youth Ambassador for Kentucky Right to Life, representing the next generation.
Representative Nancy Tate, a courageous lawmaker and pro-life champion in the Kentucky General Assembly.

With One Voice Our Joint Message:
“Compassion should never mean abandonment or death. True compassion protects life.”“The abortion industry and assisted suicide lobby are selling death as compassion — we’re here to speak the truth.”“From dangerous abortion pills to Canada’s plan for euthanasia for mental illness, the message is clear: when life becomes inconvenient, end it. Kentucky will not accept that.”“Our message today is simple: Kentucky chooses life — at every stage, in every circumstance.”“Impact. Influence. Inspire. We are cultural change makers, and today we invite you to join us.”
