March For Life

"Americans everywhere know that unborn children deserve equal rights and protection under the law… We are hopeful that, with Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization before the Supreme Court, 2022 will bring us much closer to building the culture of life we have all marched for since Roe v. Wade was tragically imposed on our nation nearly 50 years ago." -Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life

The theme for this year's March for Life, Equality Begins in the Womb, highlights how true equality is only possible if we recognize that children in the womb also deserve protection.

"We are delighted to welcome these incredible speakers to the March for Life," said Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life Education and Defense Fund. "Americans everywhere know that unborn children deserve equal rights and protection under the law. We expect this year's March for Life to be historic with even higher levels of enthusiasm from participants. We are hopeful that, with Dobbs v.

Wade was tragically imposed on our nation nearly 50 years ago."
