Love is an antidote for abortion! Thousands of participants on the 53rd March for Life in Washington

Building a solidarity society in which man is seen as a gift, and the weaker are surrounded by concern, is the main mission of the Americans, as pointed out by the cardinals. Seán P. O’Malley. – Abortion is the top moral crisis facing our country and our world – said the clergy. The March for Life, which was held for the 53rd time in Washington, D.C., brought together thousands of Americans. This year’s event was accompanied by the slogan “Life is simply a gift”.

The March for Life in the United States, held on January 23, is 1 of the largest pro-life events in the world. Exceptional, besides due to the fact that it is dominated by young Americans, students and advanced school students who come from all over the country and boldly declare the inviolability of all man's life. In the event, despite the cold winter aura, many families with children participate. Most participants hold in their hands colorful banners with slogans that emphasize the wonder and beauty of human life, the value of motherhood and paternity and encourage the establishment of families. Thanks to social media, it is increasingly possible to see that mothers who have experienced abortion drama are besides coming to the march and want to inform another women of the consequences of killing a child. Not all of them had the chance to meet at this hard time, for example, the defenders of life, whose helpful hand or simple word could change the course of events. And the strength of support for American life defenders who have been in front of abortion facilities for decades, say girls and boys, abortion survivors. These young people who come to march want to give strength to women who feel the force of a household or environment to deprive their kid of their lives.

The performance of the “Friends of Club 21” choir, which is made up of young artists with the band Down, was very enthusiastic. There were moving testimonies that mobilised to fight for the life of the kid and the wellness of the parent – Lifesaving can be as easy as answering a phone, taking a friend to an ultrasound or helping you choose a car seat said Sara Harm in the testimony. – I'm here to tell you that an abortion pill can be stopped. My life and my son's is surviving proof of that. present my boy is 1 of the top joys of my life – said a young parent describing the APR (Abortion Pill Reversal) protocol to reverse the effects of a pharmacological abortion, which gives a chance to halt the action of abortive measures and sustain the child's life.

On this peculiar vacation of life and the feast of the family, the Holy Father, before the beginning of March, sent a message to the participants of the event – In defending unborn children, you follow the Lord’s command to service him in the smallest of our brothers and sisters said Leon XIV. The Pope recalled that the right to life is simply a fundamental right, and "the society is healthy and truly thrives only erstwhile it guards the sanctity of human life and actively promotes it."

The participants of the March for Life, which this year was held under the slogan "Life is simply a gift", could besides see president Donald Trump's message, which listed the efforts of his administration to strengthen the protection of life from the appointment of 3 SN judges, to household relief programs, limiting the backing of abortion centres. Present at J.D. Vance's event, the vice president stressed that life is God's gift. – The sign of barbarism is that we treat children as an inconvenience to be disposed of, not as a blessing to be nurtured. But the heritage of our civilisation is something else—the fact that, as the Scriptures tell us, all life was created by our Creator in a miraculous and admirable way. – he said.

The March for Life was preceded by a night prayer vigil at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., which brought together over 5,000 people, primarily students and advanced school students. The vigil, which has been held in Basilica for 47 years, began with the Holy Mass led by Bishop James D. Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. Cardinals, bishops and priests joined the concelebre.

– Our goal is not only to consider abortion illegal. Our goal is to make abortion unthinkable – said Bishop Coloney in the homily. The clergyman pointed out that abortion is the top threat to human dignity. As the card reminded. Conley, the American Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) recognised the protection of life and household as a precedence of action. – Abortion is the top moral crisis facing our country and our world. It's a substance of life and death in a very broad perspective. – he added.

It is worth recalling that since 2022 and the repeal of the judgment, which allowed the unlimited deprivation of children during the prenatal improvement phase, the number of surgical abortions has decreased, and the number of abortion centres is besides systematically decreasing. Only in 2025 another 25 were closed. The study of 1 Operation Rescue organization prepared a summary, which calculated that since 1991 there has been a decline in abortion facilities from 2176 to 650 in 2025. However, inactive abortion in the United States and around the planet is the first origin of human death, notes Worldometers. It appears that growth trends have pharmacological abortions. And inactive in the United States, an average million children are killed annually in abortion in the prenatal improvement phase.

The challenges facing pro-life movements and the increase in the distribution of abortion drugs, which not only kill children, but pose a advanced hazard to women's wellness and lives, were discussed during the Cardinal O'Connor (Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life) Conference held by the Student Association for America. This is 1 of the cyclical events that has been accompanying the March for Life in Washington for 27 years. Jennie Bradley Lichter, president of the March for Life stressed that the mission of pro-life movements is to carry out measures to reduce the usage of early-onset drugs until the complete withdrawal of pills. At the same time, it is essential to make various forms of assistance aimed at girls and pregnant women – We must show the planet what we stand for, and we stand for beautiful motherhood, for the courage of fatherhood, for the gift of children and for a planet where no female is alone – added Jennie Bradley Lichter.

The march for Life, as all year, began at the National Mall and ended under the edifice of the United States ultimate Court. This symbolic passage through the streets of the city close the Capitol under the ultimate Court reminds of the year 1973 and the Roe case of Wade. The judgement at that time allowed children to be legally aborted practically until their birth. Last year, 150 000 people attended the March for Life.
