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.
Here's what some people said about the 2025 National March for Life:
A Catholic family from Birmingham, Alabama, tells EWTN how passionate they are about the pro-life movement in an interview at the office in Washington, D.C. The couple first attended the March for Life in 2006 and has attended every in-person March since. They also pray for the unborn after every meal.
