This was her third March for Life Rallies in the nation’s Capitol. Young traveled five hours to the rally and other Franciscan University of Steubenville students. In addition, the Roman Catholic school sent several busses of anti-abortionists to Washington.
The marchers pray for states to be allowed to protect unborn babies soon. Their hope is bolstered by the Conservative Supreme Court Justices appointed by the former president. Anti-abortion proponents point to significant changes in state laws SCOTUS allowed. For example, instead of ruling for or against Texas’ law that bans most abortions, they allowed it to stand.
“Roe was wrongly decided, and…it can and should be overruled,” argued Clarence Thomas. However, after hearing almost two hours of oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the six Conservative-majority seem poised to uphold the Gestational Age Act enacted by Mississippi lawmakers in 2018 that bans abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. The law has yet to take effect since two lower courts blocked it based on Roe v. Wade that allows terminating a pregnancy up to 24-weeks when a fetus can survive outside their mother’s womb.
“The media always like to pretend the March for Life doesn’t exist bit the pro-life generation is here, growing and it’s winning,” tweeted Mercedes Schlapp. “It took two hours for everyone to walk from Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court” because the crowd was so big, posted LifeNews.com.
Anti-abortion proponents argue that women use pregnancy termination instead of using birth control. Arlington Catholic Herald posted a video with this assertion. “The young lady’s comment about women using abortion as contraception is so stark and true. God bless her for her deeply soul-stirring comments. Thank you for defending life,” writes S.D.

Hiya, I’m really glad I have found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and net and this is really frustrating. A good site with exciting content, that’s what I need. Thanks for keeping this site, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can’t find it.
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think of if you
added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could
