Thousands Join Ohio, North Platte Pro-Life Marches Against Abortion

Thousands of pro-life supporters gathered across various locations in early October 2025 to advocate against abortion, highlighting the sanctity of human life. In Columbus, Ohio, the fourth annual Ohio March for Life attracted several thousand participants who attended a Mass for Life at St. Joseph Cathedral before marching through downtown with signs expressing pro-life messages and personal testimonies of abortion regret. The event featured keynote speaker Melissa Ohden, an abortion survivor, and included involvement from priests, youth groups, and organizations such as Priests for Life and Silent No More, which support healing and awareness. Similar events included the 33rd annual Life Chain demonstration in North Platte, where participants silently held signs and faced some opposition, and the 35th annual Life Chain in Canada, with gatherings planned in over 300 locations nationwide. These coordinated demonstrations emphasize a continued cultural and legal push to protect life from conception and reflect a broad coalition of religious and civic groups uniting in their cause. Despite occasional counter-protests, the pro-life advocates maintained a prayerful and peaceful presence, underscoring their commitment to the movement.
