The March for Life is typically scheduled on, or close to, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. This significant Supreme Court decision was made in 1973 and resulted in the legalization of abortion across the United States. 

On January 24, the students and members of Immaculata’s Macs Respect Life group traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the March for Life Ceremony. It includes a rally and a march that draws thousands of individuals who believe in the pro-life movement. The group also attended Mass at the Catholic University of America for Mass of the Holy Spirit.

In 2022, the case of Roe vs. Wade was overturned due to the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, expressing that the Constitution does not protect the right to abortions. The pro-life movement tries to convince others to stand with them in protecting the unborn.

During the march, participants show their commitment to protecting the rights of the unborn. They carry signs, chant slogans, and engage in various activities to raise awareness about the issues surrounding abortion. The event serves not only as a demonstration, but also as a gathering of like-minded individuals who share similar beliefs. The atmosphere is filled with hope and determination, as many attendees are united in their message.

By attending this event, Immaculata’s Macs Respect Life group joined countless others in expressing their views on such a critical topic. Their presence at the March for Life not only highlights their dedication to the cause but also encourages others to consider the implications of abortion on society. This annual event continues to draw attention to the ongoing debate about reproductive rights and the importance of advocating for the unborn.
