The virtual March for Life begins Friday at noon ET with the theme, “Together Strong: Life Unites!”
The theme of this year’s March for Life, “Life Unites,” is especially significant as President Joe Biden, who claims “unity” is a central focus of his administration, advances a radical abortion agenda that includes forcing taxpayers to fund abortions abroad and within the United States.
Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris, have vowed to advance their aggressive pro-abortion agenda despite consistent polling that shows Americans share bipartisan unity around policies that restrict abortion and the prohibition of taxpayer funding of abortion.
Organizers announced this month the rally and march that take place annually would be virtual due to “heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol” and to the coronavirus pandemic.
In advance of the event, former President Donald Trump proclaimed January 22, the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in 1973 in Roe v. Wade, when it created a right to abortion, to be “National Sanctity of Human Life Day,” when the nation “proudly and strongly reaffirms our commitment to protect the precious gift of life at every stage, from conception to natural death.”
Trump said in his proclamation:
Every person — the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly — has inherent value. Although each journey is different, no life is without worth or is inconsequential; the rights of all people must be defended. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our Nation proudly and strongly reaffirms our commitment to protect the precious gift of life at every stage, from conception to natural death.
