Pro-life marchers step up advocacy in Richmond

February 1, 2023

At the first Virginia March for Life since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pro-lifers came to Richmond Feb. 1 from around the commonwealth to advocate for the unborn.

With the reversal of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, states can now greatly restrict and even ban the life-taking procedure. Pro-lifers began what organizers called Defending Life Day at the legislative offices of their elected officials, lobbying for greater restrictions on abortion.

In our relationships with and service to others, St. John Bosco says: 'There must be no hostility in our minds, no contempt in our eyes, and no insults on our lips.' In this way, we imitate the love and mercy that Jesus extended to others, without exception.
