Thousands of anti-abortion activists are coming to Washington for the annual March for Life, seeking to build momentum and maintain pressure on legislators.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision in 2022, March for Life organizers have also encouraged anti-abortion activists to focus their attention on statehouses, where decisions over the legality of abortion are now being made.

President Donald Trump’s campaign-trail promise to leave abortion regulation to the states lasted just a few days into his presidency.

After decades of fighting to overturn Roe v. Wade, organizers now are focusing on the multiple state-by-state battles taking place over abortion rights.
