2025 March for Life Planned in Washington, D.C.

The 2025 March for Life is set to take place on January 24 in Washington, D.C., coinciding with a significant week for the anti-abortion movement following the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The march, themed 'Life: Why We March,' aims to reinvigorate efforts against abortion after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, featuring speakers such as Governor Ron DeSantis and Rep. Chris Smith. Notably, Trump is scheduled to be in California addressing wildfire damage and is not expected to participate in the march this year, marking a change from his previous attendance. This event continues to be a focal point for pro-life advocates despite ongoing challenges, including recent legal battles in various states over abortion legislation. In Arkansas, for instance, the recent March for Life highlighted the ongoing struggle against abortion access, with community leaders expressing deep concern over the number of abortions occurring nationally. The juxtaposition of these events underscores the complexity of the pro-life movement amid shifting political landscapes.
