March For Life

Today is one of the highlights of my year. It’s the annual March For Life. Hundreds of thousands of people have come to Washington, D.C., braving the winter weather to defend innocent preborn babies.

This annual event is unlike any other demonstration that takes place in Washington. Marches and protests happen here regularly. But the demonstrators are almost always seeking some action or policy that benefits them. And that’s totally fine in a free society.

But the March For Life is different. Today’s marchers are not asking for any monetary or policy benefit for themselves. Their bank accounts won’t get bigger if they’re successful.

They’re marching to give voice to the one group of Americans who literally have no voice -- our preborn babies. Whether one agrees with the marchers or not, and I strongly do agree, they should be admired for their selflessness. But the liberal media will mock and vilify them.

Yet every year since 1973, they have come to Washington around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. For many, the annual March For Life was a solemn event, marking that tragic decision and the loss of so much human potential.

But after decades of hard work, prayers and persistence, Roe v. Wade is gone! Instead of mourning the somber milestone of Roe, we can celebrate the pro-life Dobbs decision, thanks to President Donald Trump’s appointment of three pro-life justices.

But with the abortion issue returned to the states, the battle for the sanctity of life is far from over. We must continue to fight the good fight for the hearts and minds of the American people, and that’s one battle I believe we will win. (See next item.)
