On January 20th, we will celebrate the 50th annual March for Life and the momentous overturn of Roe v. Wade! We will honor those who have gone before us making this historic victory possible, and we will present the strategic plan for building a culture of life in this moment in time.

Vital to our strategic “Next Steps” is continuing to boldly march each year in Washington, DC, now that the power to protect the unborn has returned to the American people through their elected representatives.

This year, rather than marching to the steps of the Supreme Court, where we have for decades asked our highest Court’s Justices to undo the destructive decision that was Roe v. Wade, we will now march to a new front in our battle for life, the steps of the United States Capitol.

We put together this inspiring video to learn more about why we chose this message to accompany this historic moment for the pro-life movement. We hope it leaves you motivated to join us in January!

Also joining us on the March for Life stage will be actor, director, producer and voice-over artist, Jonathan Roumie, who is best known for his award-winning role as ‘Jesus’ in the groundbreaking series, THE CHOSEN, a drama about the life of Jesus Christ.  

And, back by popular demand, the Dove-nominated and K-LOVE Award-winning musical group, We Are Messengers, will be performing the pre-Rally concert.

Friend, it is hard to overstate the joy and excitement leading into this upcoming March for Life on January 20th. As you can see, we are working hard to put together a monumental event for you! Stay tuned for many more exciting updates to come in the weeks and months leading up to the 50th Annual March for Life.

With the wonderful blessing of Roe v. Wade being overturned, a goal we have marched for since 1974, some say there is no longer a need for the pro-life movement to gather for the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. The work to build a culture of life in the United States of America is far from finished, but they say we can now solely focus our work on advancing our cause in the states.

Such confusion could not be further from the truth! As we unveil our historic 2023 March for Life theme which will guide us towards our 50th anniversary and through our first post-Roe march, we seek to inspire clarity and enthusiasm among all pro-life people in this critical next phase of building a culture of life.

On January 20, we will celebrate the 50th annual March for Life and the momentous overturn of Roe v. Wade! We will honor those who have gone before us making this historic victory possible, and we will present the strategic plan for building a culture of life in this moment in time.

Vital to our strategic “Next Steps” is continuing to boldly march each year in Washington, DC, now that the power to protect the unborn has returned to the American people through their elected representatives. This year, rather than marching to the steps of the Supreme Court, where we have for decades asked our highest Court’s Justices to undo the destructive decision that was Roe v. Wade, we will now march to a new front in our battle for life, the steps of the United States Capitol. 

We must tirelessly build a culture of life on Capitol Hill, and advocate for the advancement of federal pro-life policies. But it doesn’t end there: we must also march in our state capitols, urging our state legislators to pass life-saving protections for the unborn. Last, we must continue to increase the safety net for moms and babies, especially by supporting pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes in our communities that provide love, compassion, and resources to women, children, and families.

Those who have been paying attention know that the battle at the federal level has only intensified since the historic Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision. Already, pro-abortion politicians in the U.S. House and Senate have voted in favor of the most radical expansion of abortion in American history, a bill deceptively named the Women’s Health Protection Act. If passed, this extreme bill would nullify existing pro-life state laws, prevent the passage of future state laws that protect the unborn, and force taxpayers to pay for abortions nationwide — up until birth. Going beyond Roe, it would eliminate parental-consent laws. We can’t afford to abandon the fight at the federal level now.

Neither can we leave hard-fought victories like the Hyde Amendment vulnerable to attack. Hyde is in the crosshairs of pro-abortion politicians and has been for a long time. This long-standing policy limits government funding for abortion on annual appropriation bills, protects taxpayers and saves lives. In fact, it has been estimated to have saved more than 2.4 million lives since its adoption in 1976 and is arguably the most impactful pro-life policy in our nation’s history. It should not be taken for granted.

This is by no means meant to distract us from our efforts in the states, but we must realize that the fall of Roe means the battle for life must be fought on two fronts now: state and federal. 

We are rapidly expanding our state march program to meet this need. And the enthusiasm at the state level is high now that the people once again have a say in laws protecting the unborn. Last week we had more than 4000 gather in Columbus, Ohio for the first annual Ohio March for Life and last month we saw more than 5,500 pro-life Pennsylvanians gather in Harrisburg to attend the first state march since the Dobbs decision came down. We at the March for Life plan to be in all 50 states soon because we, more than anyone I dare say, understand the power of unified, joyful masses of pro-life marchers who, year in and year out, send a loud and clear message to legislators: Protect life!

Maternity Homes and Pregnancy Care Centers are also critical to this next phase in pro-life work. Pro-life pregnancy centers provide assistance such as education, support services and essential medical care to over 2 million people every year, offering millions of dollars-worth in medical, education and support resources. Maternity homes provide shelter and support for the first several years of the baby’s life.

Pregnancy resource centers have saved more than 800,000 lives since 2016 and are favored by the vast majority of Americans. Despite the many violent attacks leveled at these centers since the beginning of May when the Dobbs decision was leaked, everything they do is driven by love for the women who walk through their doors and a deep desire to see them realize their dreams without sacrificing their children.

As we lean into our ‘Next Steps,’ and continued marching both in DC and in the states, we will build up a culture of life and be a bright light to our world. Yes, there is still so much work to be done, but we are encouraged by the fruits of our labors so far. Thanks to the incredible dedication and passion that you, our marchers, have shown throughout the years, we are emboldened to take these next steps in carrying out our mission to promote the beauty and dignity of every human life by working for an end to abortion.

Happy Women’s Equality Day! Today we honor all of the women who have raised us, have gone before us, have worked alongside us, and have encouraged us along the way. As a women-led organization at the forefront of a woman-filled pro-life movement, we are constantly in awe of what passionate women can achieve.

At the March for Life, we also know that Equality Begins in the Womb, as last year’s March for Life theme proudly stated. At a time when equality is at the forefront of the national discussion, unborn children in the womb are often left out of the debate.

The littlest ones—including the littlest women—are overlooked simply because they cannot speak for themselves. Knowing this grave injustice, the important role of defending the unborn and confirming their humanity falls to us.

This Women’s Equality Day, join us in fighting for the equality of all women—especially the millions of women killed in the womb each year. Let us fight for their protection by supporting women facing unexpected pregnancies, donating to pregnancy resource centers, or volunteering our time to mothers in need.

Friend, equality is not a concept that only applies to certain groups of people. Equality belongs to everyone and it begins in the womb.

Today, kindly join me in a prayer of gratitude for the many wonderful women in our lives!
