On June 24 of last year, under the threat of violence and uproar, the Supreme Court made history by declaring there is no constitutional right to abortion, robbing the Roe v. Wade decision of its 50th anniversary.
On Saturday, one year since Roe’s demise, dozens gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to make history again. The first National Celebrate Life Day featured an all-star lineup of pro-life figures and attendees from across generations ringing in a new era of their movement with hope and solidarity.A vastly smaller band of protesters tried to crash the event with profanity and pro-abortion chants.
The organizers put the faith-based roots of their movement front and center, blasting Christian songs on speakers before the rally began and ending it with a group prayer. Nearly every speaker described unborn children as God's creation or credited divine intervention for past and future victories. “Let me be clear right now,” King told the crowd. “The battle has already been won by Jesus.”
However, Saturday’s gathering was about more than condemning abortion and celebrating its decline. The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles uplifted marriage and the family in his speech, calling for a culture that enables “breadwinning” and “homemaking.” Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, urged government officials to follow Texas’s lead in funding alternatives to abortion for mothers.
But a crucial step it is, nonetheless, as countless lives are taken every day in states that deem them legally worthless. Live Action founder Lila Rose said the next judicial goal should be nothing less than 14th Amendment protection for the unborn. Abortion is"already" a violation of constitutional rights, Rose argued, comparing it to the dehumanization of black people prior to the amendment.
