A new year is around the corner, and with it, a new year of opportunities for pro-life advocacy. It\u2019s for this reason that the March For Life has unveiled its new theme for 2025: \u201cLife: Why We March.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 52nd March for Life, which will be held on January 24, 2025, has been held in Washington, D.C., every year since 1974. Tens of thousands of people from all over the country come to show their support for legal protections for preborn human beings. The upcoming theme, according to the <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>, \u201c\u200b\u200bwill encourage pro-life advocates […] by reflecting on the basic truth that inspires the pro-life cause: every human life \u2013 including the unborn and their mothers \u2013 is beautiful, has unique dignity, and [is] worthy of protection.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The theme is a return to basics, a message of encouragement, and a reminder of the reasons for pro-life advocacy. Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life, said she chose the theme because of a sense of discouragement she sensed from pro-lifers, who have faced obstacles to protecting preborn human life since <\/span>Dobbs<\/span><\/i> overturned <\/span>Roe v. Wade.<\/span><\/i> The most recent election season left some feeling especially disheartened; voters in several states rejected any further limitations on abortion, and some even expanded abortion access in places like Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and several others, <\/span>as Live Action News has reported<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo and a half years from the overturn of Roe v. Wade it\u2019s going to come as no surprise that some marchers are a little discouraged right now. In my own travels around the country, I\u2019ve even been asked questions along the lines of: \u2018Was it worth it?\u2019\u201d Mancini said, according to the <\/span>Catholic News Agency<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With major news organizations spreading <\/span>lies about pro-life laws causing the harm<\/span><\/a> they purport to guard against, and with major funding operations from pro-abortion giants across the country <\/span>pouring<\/span><\/a> cash into <\/span>elections<\/span><\/a>, pro-lifers appear to have a steep hill to climb. Mancini says it can be \u201ceasy to become disheartened in an anti-life culture embraced by many with loud voices and big platforms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing is this confusion over the lie that a right to abortion is good for women. There\u2019s just so much cultural confusion. So, it\u2019s onto that backdrop that we want to encourage our marchers, we really deeply want to do everything possible to encourage our marchers that we\u2019re on the right side of history, that we\u2019re in this for the long game, and that we need to lean in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
