The Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse recently announced that the theme of the 2022 March for Life rally will be Equality Begins in the Womb.

In its announcement, the Diocese of La Crosse argues that discrimination is now viewed as 'unacceptable' almost everywhere in the country 'except in the womb.'

"From our nation’s birth, our founders recognized the dignity inherent to all people, making each one of us equal in our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," the Diocese of La Crosse stated on Facebook, " Because of this, Americans have fought for centuries to advance equality for every person, regardless of race, sex, or disability status.  It has taken centuries, but discrimination is now acknowledged as unacceptable just about everywhere in America. Everywhere, that is, except in the womb."

Nellie Gray organized the first March for Life in January 1974, one year after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling, when Gray determined that a March for Life should be held annually until the decision is reversed, according to the March for Life website.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of participants attend the march for life rally, many of them high school and college students, according to a Heavy report.

"As our country continues to advance along the path to a more just society, we cannot ignore the discrimination that is taking place against vulnerable unborn babies who some view as ‘less than’ others.  In order to create a more just society, we must recognize that equality begins in the womb."

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist with the goal of creating a "better" society by promoting abortion among black women, campaigning for selective breeding, and establishing Planned Parenthood locations in minority communities, according to an opinion article by Kristan Hawkins published in USA Today.

Additionally, Hawkins opines that black women have abortions at a rate five times that of white women and that in New York City, more black babies are aborted than are born each year.

According to data provided by Statista, 620,000 babies were aborted in the United States in 2018, a decrease from 857,000 legal abortions in 2000.
