The March for Life is an incredible opportunity to share the truth about life and communicate the inherent dignity of the human person.
If you’re looking for inspiration for signage to bring, check out a few of our favorites from past marches!
We also encourage you to think creatively about loving and truthful messages to share #WhyWeMarch.
If you aren’t able to bring homemade signage, many groups provide free signs at the rally.

It’s just 6 months until tens of thousands of pro-life Americans will march in our Nation’s Capital!
There are many ways you can support the pro-life movement and get ready for March for Life 2019 on Friday, January 18, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
1. Download the March for Life 2019 Trip Planner
From conferences to rallies, the March for Life is filled with great opportunities to celebrate life, connect with marchers, and learn how to become a more effective pro-life advocate.

2. Give to a local pro-life pregnancy resource center.
The sole focus of pro-life pregnancy centers is to care for parents and their children, particularly when facing an unexpected pregnancy. These centers collectively offer over $100 million every year in free services, ranging from sonograms to baby diapers.
The live-saving work of pregnancy centers relies on the generosity of pro-lifers in their local community.
Go to https://optionline.org/ to find a life-affirming pregnancy clinic in your community.
3. Contact your Senators and tell them to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court
On Monday July 9th, President Trump announced Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his Supreme Court nominee.
As pro-life marchers, we understand the impact of the Supreme Court, and the crucial importance of having justices, like Scalia and Gorsuch, who interpret the Constitution as it was originally written.
>>>> Urge your Senators to give Kavanaugh an open and fair confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Judge Kavanaugh is exceptionally qualified for the role and will no doubt serve as a fair, independent judge who will remain faithful to the Constitution.
4. Comment on HHS Title X Protect Life Rule
The HHS proposed a new Title X Protect Life rule that will stop all Title X funds from going to any institution that performs, advocates, or supports abortion in any way. With this rule in place, Planned Parenthood will lose $40 – $60 million in tax payer dollars every year.
>>>> Share your support for the rule by adding your comments to the Protect Life rule.
5. Thank a Pro-life OBGYN
Hundreds of OBGYNs are standing against the abortion industry and using their voice to protect life.
Take some time to show your support for OBGYN’s who courageously advocate for life.
Send them a card. Give them a phone call. Show these pro-life doctors that their bravery, commitment to life, and hard work is appreciated!
Go to https://aaplog.org/ to find pro-life doctors near you.
6. Share on social media that you march for life
Our movement continues to grow, but we need your voice!

Everyone should be a part of this!”
This is what one young marcher shared at the 2018 March for Life, and we couldn’t agree more.
Watch this inspiring “Why We March” recap video for more reflections:
The 45th Annual March for Life was a beautiful and historic day. But it was just the beginning of our work for the year.
Everyone can still be a part of the March for Life by taking action each and every day in their communities and in the public square to be a voice for life.
The injustice of abortion has been going on 45 years too long! Will you commit to keep marching forward throughout 2018 to ensure that Roe v. Wade will not turn 50?

We witnessed a living miracle at the 2018 March for Life. Abigail Beutler stood on stage with her mother, Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, charming the crowd with her sweetness and smiles!
Abigail’s presence is a miracle because while the Congresswoman was pregnant with Abigail, her first child, she and her husband Dan received the heartbreaking news that their baby had “zero percent chance of survival.”
Their unborn baby was diagnosed with Potter’s Syndrome, and doctors told the Beutlers there was nothing that could be done; their baby would die and that “a lot of women at this point would be across the street scheduling an abortion.”
However, that was out of the question for the couple. Dan Beutler shared with CNN’s Dana Bash, “Being able to hear the heartbeat … we had this gut feeling of there has to be something — I mean, a doctor may say it, but she’s moving. That’s pretty convincing. We know she’s still alive.”
Thus began their miracle journey of choosing love and hope to fight for their unborn daughter. After a series of experimental treatments, Abigail was born, making medical history. “She was the first baby to survive childbirth with no kidneys. People Magazine ran a spread calling her ‘the girl who lived.’”
At the 2018 March for Life, with her family by her side, Congresswoman Herrerra Beutler shared these moving words:
“I was told there was no chance of survival – but they were wrong. They weren’t bad people – they just had never seen a baby with this condition survive. But that’s the point: What if the doctor is wrong about others too? What if together, we can break new ground, find new treatments that will benefit more than just our own families? What if the baby won’t have that significant health condition or disability? Or even if she does – what if every baby was at least given a shot to reach her true, miraculous potential?
Who would we be as a nation? What richness would society get to see? Instead of the equivalent of two generations missing because of that choice, would we have already witnessed one of those individuals having discovered a cure for cancer? The key to eradicating extreme poverty?
What if we had spent the last 45 years – the length of time abortion has been allowed in the United States – pouring time and money into finding a cure in the womb for medical conditions like spina bifida, micro-sephaly, or congenital heart defects?
What if that money was used to end the baby’s disease – not her life?”
You can watch her full remarks HERE:
She concluded her remarks with a hopeful word that reminds us all again, that love saves lives:
“Today, we have come together to say – there’s hope! For every expectant mother who has been given a devastating diagnosis. For every woman who feels fear, anger, or anxiety because she doesn’t know how she can afford to care for a child. For every woman who feels hopeless: God loves you. For every baby given up on by the status quo: God still does miracles.
We must recognize the unborn child as the miracle he or she is – a person developing with extraordinary potential and purpose – who deserves a fighting chance to live and just maybe reach that extraordinary potential. After all, I believe it’s the only way our society will truly reach ours.”
