The National March for Life will take place on Friday, January 24, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and several notable activists, celebrities, and politicians have been announced<\/a> as speakers.<\/p>\n

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose will speak beginning at noon, before the march begins at 1:00pm. The event will start at 11:00 am with musical performances before the speakers begin. Along with Rose, professional surfer Bethany Hamilton and Governor Ron DeSantis will be speaking, as well as longtime vocal pro-life Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbortion killed over one million babies last year in the United States alone. This human rights crisis is catastrophic and demands immediate action. The March for Life is an unshakable declaration of a fundamental truth: every single human being, from the moment of fertilization, has the right to live,” Rose said in a press release.<\/p>\n

“We march because justice demands it, and love compels it. We will fight every day until every person\u2014born and preborn\u2014is granted full and equal protection under the law. Our nation must recognize the humanity of preborn children in the womb and protect those children from death at the hands of the abortion industry. Abortion dismembers or starves a child, and on January 24th, I will join tens of thousands of Americans in telling Congress, the president, and the Supreme Court that abortion must be abolished entirely.”<\/p>\n

READ: March for Life 2025 theme is a return to basic fundamentals<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bethany Hamilton became famous after surviving a shark attack in Hawaii as a teenager, and in recent years, has been increasingly outspoken<\/a> about her pro-life beliefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that life is a gift, and each and every life has value,\u201d she wrote after announcing a pregnancy with her fourth child, adding, \u201cEvery single human life is fearfully and wonderfully made, and I believe should be viewed that way! How beautiful to know you were intentionally made by God. It can bring so much meaning to your life: that you are loved. That you are wonderful. That you have purpose. That you are no accident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed<\/a> the state’s Heartbeat Protection Act (HB 7) into law (protecting most preborn children from abortion upon detectable heartbeat) in April of 2023. The law had been put on hold until the Florida Supreme Court decided the status of the state’s 15-week abortion restriction (HB 5). In April of 2024, the Court decided<\/a> HB 5 could stand, which then allowed HB 7 to go into effect. DeSantis also came out strongly against pro-abortion Amendment 4 in Florida last year, which would have enshrined abortion as a “right” in the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The theme for the 2025 March is a return to the fundamentals of the pro-life movement. “Life: Why We March” was announced as the theme<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing on the right side of history isn\u2019t always popular or easy,\u201d March for Life said in a video announcing the theme. \u201cWhen culture is spreading lies about the dignity of life, and it seems like we\u2019re in a losing battle, we might feel like giving up. But we won\u2019t.\u201d Over images of babies, viewers are reminded, \u201cThis is why we march. We march to be a voice for the voiceless. We march to end abortion. We march for both mom and baby. [\u2026] Because every single life deserves a chance. That is what real human flourishing looks like, and that is why we march.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tell President Trump, RFK, Jr., Elon, and Vivek: <\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
