Abortion-rights opponents brave snow for March for Life rally

Thousands of opponents of abortion rights gathered on a snow-covered National Mall Friday to participate in the 51st annual March for Life, headlined by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

The participants gathered for the largest anti-abortion event in the country under the theme “With every woman, for every child.” 

Johnson and House Pro-Life Caucus Chair Chris Smith (R-N.J.) focused their speeches on 

two anti-abortion bills that passed the House Thursday, focused on funding and protecting “pregnancy centers,” which aim to help mothers and prevent abortions. 

“Tragically, President Biden, the abortion president, has weaponized the entire federal bureaucracy to aggressively promote abortion on demand,” Smith said.
