Thousands March for Life in London
The ninth annual march processed through the city of Westminster in London, and ended at the Houses of Parliament.

Formerly called the ‘March for Life,’ the name was changed last year when new leadership took over the event.
Despite living in a state that supports abortion rights, participants at the event expressed hope that they will be able to build on the success that the pro-life movement achieved nationally last year, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
‘Our indignation over the murder of millions of unborn children must never turn into an unholy anger,’ Archbishop Blair warned, challenging marchers to keep hope in this spiritual battle.
But local pro-lifers are pushing back strongly, and predict that the abortion lobby’s extremism will galvanize public opposition to their legislative overreach.
Portraying Jesus ‘connects me to Christ’ he says, adding that giving his pro-life speech last month ‘was the right thing for me to do.’
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.
This year’s conference was among the largest in its history, with attendees from across the East Coast and as far as Texas, Missouri and North Dakota.
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.
