Students, activists and other organizations supporting pro-life will meet in Washington, D.C.On Friday, for the annual March for Life for the first time since the Supreme Court’s historic decision to strike down Roe v. Wade.

This year’s march will reflect upon the Dobbs decision as a critical — and celebratory — milestone but will also be a time to look forward to the next steps, such as the need to continue marching annually in Washington, D.C., as well as expanding marches in the states, to advance legal protections for the unborn,” Jeanne Mancini, March for Life President, said it in a statement obtained via The Daily Wire. 

Mancini said that the next steps for prolifers were to support maternity homes, and pregnancy resource centres for women in desperate need. 

Heartbeat International is one such organization that provides services to pregnancy centers around the globe and in the U.S. Heartbeat International, which has over 3,000 affiliates, is one example of a network of pregnancy resources centers.

“As we continue to follow what the abortion side is doing, we do need to, and are planning to, adapt a little bit more as well,” Trudden said. “We are working with technology to be able to provide similar care [remotely] as to what she would receive inside a center as well.”

Although the work of prolife organizations is the same in providing resources and care to women and remains the same, prolife legislators have taken different paths to address the post-abortion situation.Roe The legal world 

Although some actions have been taken at the Congress level, the Supreme Court will most likely keep the majority of legal battles at the state level.

California, Vermont and Michigan all included abortion in their state constitutions. In contrast, states like Alabama or Tennessee have broadened abortion bans.

Dobbs Republican support for pro-life legislation would be affected by this decision. 

Numerous corporations and cities have offered funding or hoped to provide financing for women traveling out of state to obtain an abortion. This is challenging the ban on state abortion.
