March for Life 2026: Compromise and Naturalism Masquerading as Catholic Action
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 22, 2026) reports on comments by Jennie Bradley Lichter, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, regarding the 53rd annual March for Life in Washington D.C. Lichter claims the march forms youth for “pro-life mission,” provides “refreshment” for activists, and offers a “public witness” despite the Roe v. Wade reversal. Speakers include Vice President JD Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and a prerecorded message from President Donald Trump. Lichter asserts pro-life politicians aren’t electorally disadvantaged post-Roe and opposes flexibility on the Hyde Amendment, while acknowledging 30 states permit late-term abortions.
