Pro Bikers for Life is not alone in riding for life as Bikers for Life out of Denton, Texas also uses their passion for the open road to express their advocacy for human dignity. Bikers for Life was started by Mark Crutcher’s organization, Life Dynamics. “The biker community is pretty overwhelmingly pro-life,” Mark says. He explains that many bikers, despite their fervor for the movement, perceive that they will not be accepted in the pro-life community because of their rebellious attitude, but Mark has explained to many of them that this is not true. “They have a camaraderie with the unborn because they have a camaraderie with the underdog,” he says.
