Organizers say the march is the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-life marchers carried a plethora of different signs on Friday demonstrating their advocacy for both mothers and their babies. Some proudly hoisted American flags as they marched.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove them both,\u201d read one sign with an illustration of a mother and her unborn child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe honest. Face the truth,\u201d another sign read.<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the 2022 March for Life is \u201cEquality Begins in the Womb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pro-life movement recognizes the immense responsibility this nation bears to restore equal rights to its most defenseless citizens in the womb,\u201d March for Life president Jeanne Mancini said when organizers announced the theme last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince<em>&nbsp;Roe&nbsp;<\/em>v.&nbsp;<em>Wade<\/em>, scientific advances have undeniably confirmed the humanity of the unborn, and today most Americans agree there should be significant limits on abortion,\u201d Mancini said.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s march comes amid renewed hope that legalized abortion could become obsolete or at least less permissible and widespread in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>A Supreme Court case moving through the court now, <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em>, could end in a decision to overturn Roe. The case involves a challenge to a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Mississippi is arguing against Roe vs. Wade\u2019s ban on states outlawing abortion before the fetus is viable outside the womb, usually considered around 22 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>During oral arguments in the case, which began in December, the court\u2019s six conservative-leaning justices appeared inclined to uphold Mississippi\u2019s abortion ban.<\/p>\n<p>A decision is expected by late June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in a very different world from that of the <em>Roe<\/em> Court nearly half a century ago. Dramatic advances in medicine and technology have opened new frontiers in our understanding of how human beings develop before birth,\u201d wrote Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, in a Friday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/articles\/2022\/01\/21\/dobbs_case_adds_new_hope_to_2022_march_for_life.html\">op-ed.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a culminating moment for the pro-life moment, and life is winning,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>In September, the Supreme Court decided in favor of allowing Texas\u2019 near-total abortion ban to go into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas law bans almost all abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, at around six weeks of pregnancy, and does not make exceptions for abortions in cases of rape and incest. The only abortions the law allows are in cases where the life of the mother is at stake or the pregnancy could cause \u201csubstantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Texas law allows private citizens to launch civil lawsuits against anyone who \u201caids or abets\u201d an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
