Josie Huyard, Vice President of the Freedom Center Society at LU, said it is a crucial part of the “fight for life.”

Abortion has been extremely normalized and it is extremely wrong, “Huyard explained.” Abortion is murder. And I think that’s why it’s super important for citizens to say because it’s wrong. And morality has been so screwed up in society. And that’s why we have to say. “

“March for Life” has taken place annually in DC since 1974, the year after the landmark ROE v. Wade Supreme Court’s decision made abortion legal at the federal level.

“Even after the decision was overturned almost three years ago, the demonstration continues to be a strong support for the holiness of life,” according to Lu.

President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a video message to the attendees to the march.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance will be this year’s keynote speaker and deliver the main message to them before they march.
