Wade</em> in 2022 — some even permitting elective abortion at any stage of pregnancy.</p> <p class="ng-scope">Knights of Columbus and families representing scores of councils around the country carried K of C “Love Life, Choose Life” signs, while Knights in Virginia served as marshals for the annual event. Andrew Hodgson, grand knight of University of Wisconsin-Madison Council 6568, led the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of the pre-march rally on the National Mall.</p> <p class="ng-scope">The rally featured a wide range of speakers, including prominent lawmakers, pro-life activists, religious leaders and medical professionals.</p> <p class="ng-scope">This year’s theme — “Life: Why We March” — was a simple reminder of the pro-life movement’s mission, explained Jeanne Mancini, outgoing president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund.</p> <p class="ng-scope">“We’re in the business of changing hearts and minds. Our goal is to make abortion unthinkable,” she said. “Your stories will help us reach that goal. Why are you here? Why are you pro-life? Each of you has a reason, and when you share that reason, your witness makes a difference.”</p> <p class="ng-scope">Mancini, who has served as president since 2012 and will continue to serve on the March for Life board of directors, introduced her successor, Jennie Bradley Lichter. A Catholic mother, a lawyer and a longtime advocate for the sanctity of human life, Lichter assumed her new role Feb. 1.</p> <figure class="left" contenteditable="false"><img class="left" src="https://images3.cmp.optimizely.com/assets/MFL2_1000px.jpg/Zz1jZTFlZDFlMDNhNWMxMWYwYWVkODdlZTQwMDZlYzNiMg==" alt="Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori and Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly and Vanessa Kelly stand outside the U.S. Capitol with Jennie Bradley Lichter." width="1000" height="775"> <figcaption contenteditable="true">From left: Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori and Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly and Vanessa Kelly (in hat) stand outside the U.S. Capitol with Jennie Bradley Lichter, the new president of the March for Life. (Photo by Paul Haring)</figcaption> </figure> <p class="ng-scope">Addressing the March for Life rally, Lichter urged each person to build communities committed to life.</p> <p class="ng-scope">“When you get home, take a few minutes to get to know the resources available in your area for pregnant women who need a hand, because you never know when someone in your life might confide in you about an unexpected pregnancy,” she said. “Be ready to be the voice telling them that they are strong enough.”</p> <p class="ng-scope">Vice President JD Vance, making his first public appearance since taking the oath of office a few days earlier, delivered the rally’s final speech.</p> <p class="ng-scope">Across the United States, lifesaving support for women and their babies is available at over 3,400 community-based pregnancy resource centers. Since 2022, Knights have donated nearly $14 million of support through the Order’s ASAP (Aid and Support After Pregnancy) program. And since 2009, Knights in the U.S. and Canada have funded more than 1,900 ultrasound machines, which give mothers the opportunity to see their unborn babies.</p> <p class="ng-scope">“Helping vulnerable women and children is in the Knights’ DNA,” said Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly, who participated in the march with other Supreme Officers and members of the board of directors. “The Order’s mission ... will continue to guide our work, as we remind our nation’s lawmakers at every level that life is a sacred and precious gift worth protecting.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </section>
