With Roe dead, a very different March for Life returns to Washington

, was considered a key architect of the antiabortion movement. Normally, she said, “you can feel you are alone in the battle.”Friday, as always, but what will become of this worldwide annual symbol, she said ahead of time, isn’t clear.

Elizabeth Um, 22, who said the feeling of this event — following the June Supreme Court decision — “has been a dream for so long.” screens atop flatbed trucks, the event has been a carnival, bazaar, religious crusade and professional conference rolled in one. While its evolution over the years reflected changes in the movement, its laser focus on overturning— witnessed those changes. She saw the march shift from overwhelmingly Catholic to include more evangelical “movers and shakers.” She saw a drop in activism in the 1990s after Congress passed laws protecting clinic access.

She’ll be in Washington on Friday but knows the future of the event is a bit up in the air. People from“will have less impetus to come. Some of those people will be satisfied they have protected the unborn in their states. And in places that still have abortion, they may think: ‘I need to pay more attention on the local level.’ There’s just no way to tell at this point. You do what you have to do.

As more White evangelicals took up the antiabortion cause, the march became somewhat more pluralistic, including not only Protestants but secular groups, Jews and marchers of other faiths. Groups from Christian high schools and colleges became a huge feature of the march, presenting a young face of the antiabortion movement on screens across the globe.Presidents who opposed abortion, including Ronald Reagan and both George H.W. and George W. Bush, declined to appear at the march.

I wish I could go. Such an awesome and massive march. Always underreported.

Actually same March, March for Life.

States that heavily restricted abortion access in 2020 had maternal death rates that were 62% higher than they were in states where abortion was more easily accessible. 39% of these counties are considered “maternity care deserts.” BECAUSE THEY DONT VALUE WOMEN
