Duggars Named Defenders of Life

This week, Students for Life of America awarded their 2013 Defender of Life Award to a certain super-sized family...the Duggars! The award was given for the family's "exceptional work and personal courage to embrace the gift of life." Jim Bob and Michelle and their 19 kids have been actively supporting pro-life politicians and legislation across the nation.

The Duggars will officially receive the award at the organization's 2014 National Conference on January 21, 2014. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar will speak at the event, as will Josh Duggar, their oldest son. The family has not yet decided whether any other Duggars will be in attendance.

Students for Life is the nation's largest pro-life youth organization and is dedicated to training and equipping students in college, high school, medical school, and law school.

Tickets purchased ahead of time are $50 for students and $70 for other attendees ($45 and $60 if you register by December 31st). On-site registration is $60 for students and $70 for other attendees.
