Despite the cold weather, the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. saw a large turnout, particularly from college students and families, who are determined to make abortion an unthinkable option. The event came after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and speakers included House Speaker Mike Johnson and Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh.

The group has faced criticism for allegedly attempting to intimidate donors, and a hearing has been set regarding potential misconduct by Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade in the election interference case against Trump.
