The annual March for Life has been canceled in person this year, and the march’s president says this is only partly due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The protection of all of those who participate in the annual March, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event, is a top priority of the March for Life,” March for Life President Jeanne Mancini announced Friday.
“In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol, this year’s March for Life will look different,” she continued.
The March for Life, a pro-life demonstration following the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, has taken place every year in the nation’s capital since 1974. Thousands of pro-life activists, students and families come to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against abortion and attend the march’s rallies.
Mancini said that the march’s annual rally will take place virtually and asked all participants to stay home and “join the March virtually.”
“We will invite a small group of pro-life leaders from across the country to march in Washington, DC this year,” she said. “These leaders will represent pro-life Americans everywhere who, each in their own unique ways, work to make abortion unthinkable and build a culture where every human life is valued and protected.”
Mancini expressed gratitude to the “countless women, men, and families” who annually attend the march.
“As for this year’s march, we look forward to being with you virtually,” she said.

A win for rabid abortion supporter Harris.
A loss for the massive pro-Life movement and the innocent babies who will be executed.
Might as well. Considering the media blackout on it every year, a lot of people probably never beard of it anyway.
That’s exactly what the commies want people to do.
It is not a win for Harris,I am not surprised by this decision. This was decided on a abundance of caution because of the covid virus.
“Might as well. Considering the media blackout on it every year, a lot of people probably never beard of it anyway.”
Agreed. I’ve always wondered why they don’t have a PR Team that makes them a household name, right up there with the likes of Planned Parenthood.
It’s a HUGE organization, well funded. Not sure why we never play the same games that the Socialist Democrats do to get our voices out there!
Don’t believe that.
There have been dozens of large events in DC, None is which have led to outbreaks.
The current “security” situation in DC probably makes any sort of rally/March impossible.
This is lame, going forward will it occur again? This is unlikely, the comrades certainly are pleased that it is not happening.
‘This was decided on a abundance of caution because of the covid virus.
empires have died from an ‘abundance of caution’; we are angling to make this country one of them...
It’s time to knock it off on these Marches for Life.
Why have thousands of parishioners and young people marching for life when Catholic cardinals and bishops are all in for abortionist Biden and Pelosi and the rest of the democrat baby killers.
The leftist cardinal in Washington condemned the greatest President for life in Donald Trump and gives communion to Biden.
Stay home Marchers. Your church, save for a few brave clerics like FrPavone has betrayed you.
