WASHINGTON (BP) – Thousands of pro-life Americans, including many Southern Baptists, gathered near the U.S. Capitol on Friday (Jan. 24) for the 52nd annual March for Life.

This year’s March for Life, which is understood to be the world’s largest annual human rights demonstration, marks the third time the event has been held since the historic overturning of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which returned abortion legislation to the states.

It was the High Court’s Roe decision, handed down in January 1973, which inspired the first March for Life event, held the following year in 1974.

Since that first march, numerous pro-life Americans (including many evangelical Christians) have come together each January near the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to support the cause and re-affirm their commitment to protect unborn children and care for their mothers.

Among the Southern Baptists gathered at this year’s event were several staff members of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

“It is an honor to be in our nation’s capital for the annual March for Life,” said ERLC Vice President and Chief of Staff Miles Mullin. More Here
