Fresh on the heels of a victory for the unborn in his state, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will Headline the upcoming March for Life in the nation’s capital.
The 52nd annual March for Life, the world’s largest annual human rights demonstration, will be held on January 24, 2025, in Washington, DC.
In November of 2024, DeSantis successfully led the charge to defeat a proposed amendment in Florida that would have declared abortion a “right” in the Florida Constitution.
Amendment 4, would have banned the state from reducing any abortion procedures before 24 weeks or later in pregnancy “when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”
The March for Life Education and Defense Fund announced the lineup for this year’s event, sharing, “This year’s theme, ‘Life: Why we March,’ focuses on returning to our roots to acknowledge the humanity of each person, while also highlighting the need to protect and support both mother and child through the thousands of resources available to them.”
“Our goal this year is to remind and reignite everyone — politicians, legislators, families, and women – in the truth that every life, unborn and born, has inherent dignity, meaning, and value, and as such is always worth fighting for. Our speakers will serve as witnesses to emphasizes the joy and beauty of life, and the dedication of the pro-life movement.”
Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund, said, “We are overjoyed to welcome these inspiring pro-life leaders at this year’s 52nd March for Life. For the past 52 years, the March for Life has powerfully witnessed to the tragedy of abortion, while calling for stronger protections for women and the unborn. This year’s speakers will address the 2025 theme—‘Life: Why We March’ which reminds us of the basic truth that every life has inherent human dignity from the start.”
Jennie Bradley Lichter, President-Elect of March for Life Education and Defense Fund added, “I’m thrilled to be joining the March for Life at this pivotal moment, and I couldn’t be more excited to share the stage this year with dedicated elected officials, pro-life leaders, and other great Americans who will share their testimonies about why they fight for Life. There is nothing else like the March for Life, and this year’s lineup is a reminder of the enduring strength of our movement.”
