We at March for Life Fund send our deep appreciation to all Marchers for your enormous presence at the Rally and March on January 22, 2009. There is no doubt that your greatly increased numbers and peaceful sincere determination was recognized in Washington. Now, we are very pleased to have received follow-up phone calls from many of you at schools and organizations asking about the dates for the next three years so that you can plan your schedules. This type of organization is great. Therefore, we have set the dates for the March for Life for the coming three years.
Next year, the anniversary date of the Roe v. Wade decision will fall on a Friday.So mark your calendars--we will make our pro-life presence known to the lawmakers in Washington, the citizens of the United States, and people around the world, on Friday, January 22, 2010.
In 2011 and 2012, the anniversary date will fall on a weekend, a time when lawmakers are typically away from Washington.We want to make sure that our pro-life pilgrimage to our nation’s capitol has maximum impact on our elected leaders; and that our Marchers have an opportunity to visit with their Congressional delegations in order to press their pro-life message.For those reasons, we have scheduled the March for Life to be held on Monday, January 24, 2011, and Monday, January 23, 2012.
Please plan now to attend.Your presence, in growing numbers every year, is the best way to draw attention to the untenable legacy of Roe v. Wade, and to persuade our leaders to eradicate it from America’s future.
March for Life Records Highest Attendance Ever
A crowd estimated at more than 300,000 took to the streets of Washington, DC on January 22, 2009 to express their dissatisfaction with 36 years of political indifference to the tragedy known as the American holocaust.Under the banner of the March for Life, pro-life advocates from across the country converged on their nation’s capitol to once again remind their elected leaders that the indiscriminate destruction of preborn babies is not only an unmitigated tragedy of moral indifference, but a reprehensible legacy of shame for future generations.
Spurred on by the inauguration of the most outspokenly pro-abortion president ever, the Marchers for Life gave voice to the hundreds of thousands of little boys and girls who never had a chance to utter a single word--and the thousands more who are at risk every single day in America.Praying, singing, and chanting; carrying banners and waving signs, the legions of Marchers poured out from the rally site on the National Mall, onto Constitution Avenue, and then to the Supreme Court where the infamous Roe v. Wade decision was handed down more than three and a half decades earlier.By their presence on the streets of Washington, the Marchers for Life were like 300,000 vivid signatures on a living petition to the President, the Congress, and the Supreme Court, to replace the errant aftermath of Roe v. Wade with the protection of the Life Principles.

Late in October 1973, grassroots prolife leaders became concerned that January 22, 1974, might come and go without properly memorializing the Supreme Court's infamous abortion decisions, Roe v. WadeDoe v. Bolton, and without petitioning Congress for redress.
