As we head into 2019, let’s never lose sight of the purpose for why we do what we do – why we march.
We march to end abortion so that the beauty and dignity of every life is valued and protected.
Every human – from the moment of conception – is unique and worthy of love.
Our top posts on Facebook and Instagram in 2018 beautifully communicate this message!
Choosing life changes the course of our future.
We hope you will join us in 2019 as we continue to march towards ending abortion!
Each of us at the March for Life is profoundly grateful for another year spent devoted to our mission of ending abortion and promoting a vision of the world where the beauty and dignity of every human life are valued and protected.
Thank you for sharing in our mission by joining the 2018 March for Life, participating in March for Life Action petitions, and sharing the pro-life message on social media.

“Complicated legal arguments don’t take away from the simple fact that a majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, is responsible for more than 300,000 abortions each year and was recently found to be involved with the harvesting and trafficking of body parts from aborted babies. Abortion is not healthcare, it is a human rights abuse. Until Planned Parenthood ceases to perform abortions they should not receive any money from taxpayers.” – March for Life President, Jeanne Mancini
Conversations about abortion, especially late-term abortions, are often clouded by misinformation and euphemisms. To get a clearer sense of the scientific facts related to prenatal development and abortion, our staff member, Katrina Gallic, spoke with Dr. Ingrid Skop, a doctor with the American Association for Pro-life OBGYNs (AAPLOG).
How were the terms “first, second, and third trimester” developed?
Can unborn babies feel pain?
Is abortion ever medically necessary?
How do medical and technological advances affect people’s perception of abortion?
Why did you decide to become a pro-life advocate?

When you really get down to it, there is only one tenable argument in favor of abortion. The argument is that the unborn are not living human beings, therefore they do not have the rights human beings have, such as the right to life. As a result, abortion should be considered the same as any other medical procedure.
If this argument is correct, pro-lifers ought to pack up our bags and go home. There would be no reason to try preventing abortions if it really is the equivalent to having a tooth removed.
There is just one problem.
None of the scientific evidence about the beginning of life supports the idea that life begins at any other time than fertilization. None.
The more scientists and doctors investigate, the more evidence they find that human life begins when sperm and egg meet and a new cell is formed, in other words, at the moment of fertilization.
To explain this point, we talked with Dr. George Delgado, a leader in abortion pill reversal (APR), and Dr. David Prentice, a world-renown stem cell and genetics expert.
Here’s what they said. . .

Join us on January 18th, 2019 in Washington D.C. to march for life! Our 2019 March for Life theme is ‘Unique from Day One: Pro-life is Pro-science.’ As we peacefully protest in the injustice of abortion, we will also celebrate the scientific support for the pro-life movement. We invite you to march with us.
