The day for the annual March For Life in
Washington, DC dawned both very cold and cloudy. Cold,
perhaps, because on this exact day in the winter of 1973 that
the United States Supreme Court announced its Roe v Wade
decision but did not examine the scientific evidence that the
yet unborn child carried by its mother was a human. The
decision led to the legalization of abortion in all 59
states. The clouds which covered most of the blue sky that
morning could portray the resulting confusion as the total of
infant abortions has now risen to more than 64 million in the
United States. Later in the day, the clouds cleared, the
sun became warmer, and the marchers were encouraged by the many
pro-life congressional speakers who spoke.
The number of marching participants was
estimated in the thousands, and considering the COVID travel
precautions were present to demonstrate their commitment to the
Life Principles identified so clearly by Jeanne Mancini,
president of March For Life.
She stressed that the right to life is a
human right and the defense of that right is a joyful witness to
the beauty and dignity of every human person. She
explained that the March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful,
vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and
children from all across the country. Every year, tens of
thousands of pro-lifers converge on the National Mall and march
on Capitol Hill on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 
1973 Roe v.
Wade ruling which legalized abortion in all 50 states.
It's the largest annual human rights demonstration in the
world. But this is not just a protest. . . TOGETHER,
WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE LIFE. She said, "We march because
we envision a future world where every human life is valued and
protected, and we promote the beauty and dignity of all by
working to end abortion - uniting, educating, and mobilizing
pro-life people in the public square."
