March for Life

John Moore, a member of Knights of Columbus in New Mexico, completed an over nine month cross-country walk to pray for the unborn.

Next year’s march and rally, always held near the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, which legalized most forms of abortion on demand, will be Jan. 24.

A federal judge July 26 dismissed a $250 million lawsuit against The Washington Post by a Kentucky Catholic high school student.

The pro-life movement has touched hearts, changed lives and saved lives in the 46 years since the Supreme Court handed down its Roe decision legalizing abortion on demand, Vice President Mike Pence told the 37th annual Rose Dinner in Washington Jan. 18.

An exchange between Catholic high school students and a Native American tribal leader in Washington Jan. 18 was vilified on social media the following day, but the immediate accusations the students showed racist behavior have been stepped back as more details of the entire situation have emerged.

A new film drama, “Unplanned,” based on Abby Johnson, the pro-life activist and founder of And Then There Were None soon, will have just four minutes to make her points when she speaks to the March for Life rally Jan. 18.

Defending life and promoting the dignity of the human person are core teachings of our Catholic faith. This month of January provides some special opportunities to be a pro-life witness.

Next year’s March for Life plans to fortify its pro-life message with science that proves life begins at conception and with a specific focus on stem-cell research.
