The Facts

  • On Friday, pro-life advocates from across the US gathered in Washington, DC for the first March for Life since SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. The march is held annually and its route usually ends at the steps of the Supreme Court.

  • This year’s event marks the 50th March for Life, which was first started in 1974 in response to Roe v. Wade, when the Supreme Court decided that abortion was a constitutional right.


The Spin

Right narrative

The pro-life movement is energized and ready to continue fighting for the sanctity of life. While last year’s SCOTUS decision was a major win for both federalism and the unborn, more still needs to be done. The fight must now be taken to the state level to protect the nation's most vulnerable.

Left narrative

The overturning of Roe was a catastrophic tragedy for all American women who have now been stripped of their right to bodily autonomy. States must fight back and continue enacting protective laws or risk dragging reproductive rights back to draconian levels.
