Only about a dozen pro-abortion protesters stood in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and only a few others were scattered within the march and on the outskirts of the march; some of the counter-protesters did manage to cause disruptions, and a few had verbal clashes with pro-life activists.
Clever and informative posters abound at the first post-Roe event.
The 2023 gathering shifted focus to state laws, empowering women, and continued outreach on the federal level.
This Friday men and women, young and old from around the country rallied in Washington, D.C., against the tragedy of abortion. Their protest marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade — which was decided 50 years ago on Jan 22, 1973 — despite the fact that Roe has been overturned. Pro-life organizers told the Register’s national reporter Lauretta Brown that the marches are now more important than ever. She joins now to explain why. Then we turn to a different kind of pro-life question: Is human composting a moral option? Register columnist John Grondelski joins us to explain the Church’s teaching on proper Christian burial.
A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: In the post-Roe era, there is a great need to coordinate and enhance our pro-life efforts at the national level and state level in order to convert hearts and minds to the pro-life cause.
Thousands of pro-lifers gather in Washington today to make their voices heard.
Bishop Burbidge said that ‘the most important work’ in this new phase of the pro-life movement ‘is the work not only of changing laws but of changing hearts with steadfast faith in the grace and power of God.’
When he is interviewed about his 13 years of experience as a head coach at the highest level of football, Coach Dungy often makes it clear that his faith in Christ has been the primary driving factor of both his life off and on the field.
Catholic pro-life leaders agree that this year’s demonstration is more important than ever.
