Anti-abortion advocates from across the country gathered for the first March for Life since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
This year's march marks a turn in the fight against abortion rights, with opponents' primary goal of overturning Roe v. Wade met and half of all states having banned or restricted access to abortion in most cases. But anti-abortion advocates contend that their work isn't finished as they aim to advance legislation that restricts abortion at the state and federal levels, including setting a minimum federal standard on the procedure.
"That's still a fight that we need to continue with, that's something that we still need to persuade large portions of America that that's not something that's acceptable. This isn't something that's OK," he said. "I'm so elated. I'm on the edge of tears because, you know, sometimes you feel like you're fighting this fight alone," Savard said.
Smith, a co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, said that the House "in the coming weeks" would be voting on another anti-abortion bill, entitled the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act, that he sponsored and introduced in the chamber earlier this month.
