The Michigan March for Life is a chance for thousands of people to come together – joyfully, peacefully, and with purpose – and send a vital message to our legislators who have the power to support women, children, and families,” said March for Life president Jennie Bradley Lichter. “The women of Michigan deserve better than the tragedy of abortion, and we want them to know we are here for them, no matter what they are facing. I hope everyone who believes in love, in life, and in a more hopeful future for this state will join us in Lansing on November 6th. 

President of Right to Life Michigan Amber Roseboom added:  

All across Michigan, there is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm as we head into the second Michigan March for Life. While a woman in Michigan can have an abortion at any point in her pregnancy for any reason, no woman should ever be made to feel that abortion is the best or only option. Pro-lifers from across our state have a powerful message for women facing unplanned pregnancies – you are not alone! We stand with you. We stand for you. There are resources in every community in our state to support a woman who wants to choose life, many of which will be showcased at the march. I am grateful for each and every organization working with us to make another peaceful, joyful state march possible.”

The Michigan March for Life is part of a growing State March Program organized by March for Life in partnership with local organizations, including Right to Life of Michigan, empowering citizens to be a voice for the voiceless and to advocate for life-affirming policies in their own states.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 16, 2025 

Washington, D.C. – Today March for Life issued the following comment regarding administrative action on IVF: 

March for Life appreciates that President Trump has heard and is responding to so many Americans who dream of becoming parents.  The desire for parenthood is natural and good.  Children are a blessing.  Life is a gift.  The White House’s announcement today is rooted in these core truths.

Here’s what else we know to be true: every human life is precious – no matter the circumstances.  We continue to encourage any federal government policymaking surrounding IVF to prioritize protecting human life in its earliest stages and to fully align with basic standards of medical ethics.

We welcome the Administration’s commitment to making groundbreaking advancements in restorative reproductive medicine more accessible and available to American women.  RRM aims to resolve rather than ignore underlying medical issues, increasing health and wellness while also restoring fertility, and responding to the beautiful desire for children while avoiding any collateral loss of human life.”

March for Life is a non-sectarian organization that promotes the beauty and dignity of every human life by working to end abortion – uniting, educating, and mobilizing pro-life people in the public square. It hosts the world’s largest annual human rights demonstration in Washington, DC every January.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 1, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, the March for Life unveiled the theme for the 2026 National March for Life: “Life Is a Gift” at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Under the leadership of new President Jennie Bradley Lichter, the March for Life is renewing its commitment to energizing and uniting the pro-life movement at a pivotal moment in history.

This year, the March seeks not only to gather tens of thousands on the National Mall, but to serve as a catalytic moment, rekindling hope, resolve and purpose across the broader pro-life community. For decades, the National March for Life has stood as the largest human rights demonstration in the world, and in 2026 it will continue to fulfill that role as the central rallying point for national and international organizations working to advance a culture of life.

Jennie Bradley Lichter, serving now as President of the March for Life, said, “‘Life Is a Gift’ invites everyone, through the irrepressible joy of the March for Life, to be swept up into a movement that transcends politics and celebrates the joy, beauty and goodness of life itself by recommitting ourselves: to each other, to every woman facing a pregnancy and to every child. This is not a moment for passivity; it is time to renew, reinvigorate and march forward together.”

The 2026 National March for Life will take place on Friday, January 23, 2026, in Washington, D.C. The March for Life has announced that Grammy-nominated Christian band Sanctus Real will perform at a pre-rally concert. The National Anthem at the rally will be led by a chorus of young adults with Down Syndrome called the Friends of Club 21 Choir, based in Colorado Springs. The featured testimony speaker will be Ms Sarah Hurm, from Iowa, whose youngest child’s life was saved by abortion pill reversal. The banner leading the March will be carried by Georgetown University Right to Life.
