A personal account from the 2023 March for Life
Still marching post-Roe Audrey Glickert Contributing Writer
2022’s overturning of Roe v. Wade sent the abortion argument into the hands of the states. This decision did not stop pro-lifers from flooding Washington D.C.’s March for Life on Jan. 21. Jeanne Monahan, president of the march said, “I can’t even see the end of you from up on this stage” when describing the crowd of people in attendance. The march’s theme was “Next Steps: Marching Forward into a Post-Roe World.” The biggest change was the rerouting of the march path to include passing the Senate. According to the March for Life website, this was added to mark the victory over the Dobbs case. During the pre-march rally, Monahan invited a wide variety of speakers to speak on the importance of life inside the womb. Speakers ranged from politicians and activists to college students and abortion survivors. Former NFL coach Tony Dungy and his wife shared about adoption and the ways their family has been blessed with eight adopted children and three biological children. They highlighted AUDREY GLICKERT the beauty of adoption, both for the adopters and the Friend Hanna Harding, sophomore Lauren Glickert and senior Audrey Glickert (from left to right) adoptees.
