Pro-lifers are celebrating as the first March for Life is being held following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) tweeted, “Today is a historic March for Life – the first since Roe v. Wade was overturned. I want to honor the modern day abolitionists who worked for decades to overturn that travesty – including my wife Erin, who litigated the Dobbs case at the Supreme Court.”
He added, “And now we have to look to the future and redouble our efforts across the country to protect the innocent unborn.”

Everyone who traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the March for Life knows that abortion is not just a matter of choice—it’s a matter of justice and injustice, of life and death for millions. I stand with all those marching today to fight for the lives of the unborn.

The 50th Annual MARCH FOR LIFE takes place & is the 1st in our post-Roe nation. The event will fill the National Mall again this year & always includes old friends. Last year, it was great to catch up w/ @KirkCameron—& to be reminded we’re graying at the same pace. 😊#March4Life pic.twitter.com/6B84yRN5OX

March for Life explained on the organization’s website why it continues to march even with the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
“The necessary work to build a culture of life in the United States of America is not finished,” the website stated.
It continued, “The goal of the national March for Life is to not only change laws at the state and federal level, but to change the culture to ultimately make abortion unthinkable.”
