The annual March for Life takes place today, Friday, Jan. 21, 2022, in Washington, D.C. Thousands of pro-life advocates are participating. The march occurs each year in January, ever since the Supreme Court rendered its controversial Roe v. Wade decision.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case about a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks, is before the high court, which currently has a GOP-appointed 6-3 majority. As Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network noted in a recent opinion piece in Fox News about the Dobbs case, “The [Mississippi] statute conflicts with the court’s controlling abortion cases, Roe, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which held that laws may not pose an undue burden on abortion prior to viability.”
Evangelist Alveda C. King, a niece of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, told Fox News Digital on Thursday, “God’s word and science agree: Human life begins in the womb. For 49 years, the flawed ruling of Roe v. Wade has denied pre-born babies the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
