This is why we march for life!

This year's 52nd annual National March for Life occurred on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Thousands of pro-life advocates attended the historic rally to defend unborn children in the womb.

March for Life attendees shared their experiences on social media and with EWTN. Many shared videos and pictures, expressing their passion for the pro-life cause.
