First March for Life After Roe Overturned Was Younger, More Committed
Although there were a handful of veterans of Marches for Life going back to the very first in 1973, the most noticeable trait about those who participated in the 50th march on Friday was their youth.
Whether they were teenagers from public or private schools in the Washington, D.C. suburbs or college undergraduates from the massive contingent from Notre Dame University in Indiana, these were inarguably passionate believers in the anti-abortion movement who were clearly emboldened by the Supreme Court's landmark ruling last year overturning Roe v. Wade, which essentially legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.
"I AM THE POST-ROE GENERATION" blared the legend on a sign carried by numerous marchers. One of them who spoke to Newsmax, recent Pacific Union College graduate Redi DeGefa, was making her first March for Life.
