One more year the anti-abortionists have manifested in Washington under the call ‘March for Life’. This year they have done it with a great success in their pocket: the annulment of the verdict “Roe vs. Wade” which removed the constitutional right of abortion and left the decision to authorize or not the voluntary protection of pregnancy in the hands of each State. They are happy with the victory, but have made it clear that the fight has only just begun: “We will not stop until abortion is unthinkable.”
The protest that since 1974 convenes every year the March For Life organization this time had a symbolic importance. Was held in 50th anniversary eve this Sunday of the legalization of abortion and months after the highest court in the United States repealed its ruling of half a century ago. Thousands of people, many of them students and with religious habits, attended the appeal in the National Mallin Washington, in the direction of the Capitol and the Supreme Court, thus reflecting that their battle continues both in the streets and in the courts.
“This year we commemorate our most significant victory, but we won’t stop,” March for Life President Jeanne Mancini told the audience. When the Supreme Court revoked the “Roe v. Wade” ruling in June left in the hands of each State the decision to authorize or not the voluntary protection of pregnancy. Since the Supreme Court ruling, according to data from Planned Parenthood, the largest network of reproductive service clinics in the US, 18 of the 50 states have banned abortion or they have severely restricted it, and in 13 of them access to this service is practically impossible even though there are exceptions.
The battle of the opponents of abortion, as the new leader of the Republican majority in the Lower House, Steve Scalise, stated on stage, “has lasted for decades”: “It is important that we celebrate each achievement along the way. Let’s continue the fight and let’s win it,” he said. march for life estimates that there are about 900,000 abortions in the United States each year and notes that that number is expected to drop to 200,000 after the Supreme Court ruling.
The “pro-life” movement goes beyond total abolition. In the words of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP), present at the march, “we must not rest until all the moral destruction that came with the sexual revolution has ended.” The White House made it clear this Friday that it respects the right to a peaceful demonstration, but the president, Joe BidenHe also stressed that his Administration will not stop until the right to abortion is restored throughout the country and until Congress enrolls it in the Constitution.
