On Saturday, 20,000 people turned out for the March for Life in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the Day of the Unborn was first observed in 1999 after a presidential declaration by Argentine President Carlos Menem. His decree noted, "Under our constitution and our civil legislation, life begins at the moment of conception," a stance from which the Argentine legislature has since tragically departed.

At the time of its institution, the Day of the Unborn received strong support from Pope St. John Paul II, who wrote in a letter, "My who wrote in a letter, "My hope is that every person will use the International Day for the Unborn Child as an opportunity to raise greater awareness about the dignity of human life, to pray for an end to the violent crime against nascent life, for healing of those who have procured an abortion or encouraged or participated in one, for every life, without exception, to be cherished and loved, for all who tirelessly work to defend and serve life, and for our nation to become a genuine Culture of Life."

In 2020, the legislature of Argentina legalized abortion on demand throughout the country up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. Speaking of the hope to repeal the abortion law, Argentine pro-life leader Ana Belén Marmora said of the marches throughout the country, "It's important because if we really want to repeal the disastrous law on abortion. Now more than ever we have to make it clearly seen that this is not over and that no one here is giving up."

Additional marches were held Saturday across Argentina in the cities of Salta, Tucumán, Bahía Blanca, Corrientes, Mar de Plata, Córdoba, and Santiago del Estero.

Likewise, thousands of pro-lifers marched in the Ecuadorian cities of Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca. The Day of the Unborn was established in Ecuador by President Alfredo Palacios González in a 2006 decree that recognizes the conceived child as a person. The decree guarantees "the right to life, expressly recognizing the baby as a living human being and a legal person who cannot be discriminated against due to his/her unborn condition"...
