The fourth annual anti-abortion March for Life will happen in Harrisburg on Monday, with thousands of attendees expected in the capital.
Various pro-life advocacy groups and religious organizations have announced support for the rally and are organizing transit from around the state to attend the events.
The Pennsylvania Family Institute estimated that 6,000 people attended last year’s march. And this year’s will be the first held during a presidential election year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned of Roe v. Wade in 2022 with the Dobbs decision
“ The Pennsylvania March for Life is the largest gathering of pro-life advocates in the state,” said Alexandra Bedner, a spokesperson for March for Life. “We encourage Pennsylvanians to peacefully march and be a voice for the voiceless while advocating for pro-life protections for both women and the unborn. Our presence shows that the pro-life movement is strong, and Pennsylvanians are pro-life.
