Now that the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision that ruled the question of abortion is up to the states, the March for Life organization announced a new theme and plan for upcoming events.

“On Jan. 20 we will celebrate the 50th March for Life & the momentous overturn of Roe v Wade!” the group tweeted. Its theme for 2023 is “Next steps: Marching into a post-Roe America.”

“We’ll honor those who have gone before us making this historic victory possible, & we'll present the strategic plan -the NEXT STEPS- for building a culture of life in this moment in time,” the tweet continued.

The Wisconsin March for Life is set to take place on June 24, 2023. That group's website says the march “will commemorate the anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision that overturned Roe v. Wade” at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison.

According to the National Catholic Register, the march will now end at the U.S. Capitol; in the past, marches went toward the Supreme Court.

“What we’d really like to do is celebrate the momentous victory of the overturn of Roe, (and) honor those who’ve marched before us,” Jeannie Mancini, president of the March for Life, said. 

The March will continue to happen every January in Washington, D.C. Mancini said, “our largest group of participants in the March are students” and moving it to a different month “would be a very hard time for young people.”

“Roe and [the loss of] 63 million Americans is a scar in our culture’s history, in our country’s history and it’s not something that we’ll quickly move past,” she told the Register. “While we celebrate that we’re at this new moment… we will continue to march in January.”

The group plans to switch to focus on state and federal pro-life cases, including fighting to prevent the “Women’s Health Protection Act” which, if enacted, according to Mancini, “would undo all the good work that’s happening at the state level, and it would go way further than codifying Roe.”

Mancini said the group will continue promoting marches on state capitals, hoping to bring it to at least 20 states. For the first time, Colts NFL coach Tony Dungy will speak at the March for Life 2023. Jonathan Roumie, who stars as Jesus in “The Chosen,” will also take the stage, according to the Register.

The Catholic Church has maintained a strong stance against abortion for centuries, regardless of evolving biological theories about when exactly life begins, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). According to the Catechism, "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law" (No. 2271).
