With the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision that ruled the question of abortion is up to the states in the rearview mirror, the March for Life group has decided on a new theme and plan for upcoming events.

March for Life announced the 50th annual March in Washington D.C., will have the theme “Next steps: Marching into a post-Roe America," with the group saying on Twitter that they will present a “strategic plan for building a culture of life.”

“On Jan. 20 we will celebrate the 50th March for Life & the momentous overturn of Roe v Wade!” the group tweeted. “We’ll honor those who have gone before us making this historic victory possible, & we'll present the strategic plan -the NEXT STEPS- for building a culture of life in this moment in time.”

In Michigan, Right to Life Michigan promoted the national March for Life in 2022. Right to Life Michigan is a policy advocacy group that promotes life and works toward anti-abortion laws and lawmakers, according to their website.

Meanwhile, a Michigan Catholic Conference essay on the issue of abortion in the upcoming election, says "Vote No on Proposal 3." The essay says Proposal 3 would "allow abortions to be performed by anyone, at any point in pregnancy, and for any reason. It would throw away state laws regulating quality, safety and inspections for abortion clinics. It would remove parental consent requirement for teens seeking abortions, and also teens seeking gender reassignment surgeries."

There is one big change for the upcoming march, too. It will end at the U.S. Capitol, as opposed to going toward and ending near the Supreme Court, the National Catholic Register reports.

“What we’d really like to do is celebrate the momentous victory of the overturn of Roe, (and) honor those who’ve marched before us,” Jeannie Mancini, president of the March for Life, said in the Register’s report.

The Washington, D.C., March will continue to happen in January for the foreseeable future, Mancini said. “Our largest group of participants in the March are students,” she explained, adding that moving it to a different month “would be a very hard time for young people.”

“Roe and [the loss of] 63 million Americans is a scar in our culture’s history, in our country’s history and it’s not something that we’ll quickly move past,” she told the Register. “While we celebrate that we’re at this new moment… we will continue to march in January.”

The group plans to shift its focus to state and federal pro-life cases, including fighting to block the “Women’s Health Protection Act.” That bill, if enacted, “would undo all the good work that’s happening at the state level and it would go way further than codifying Roe,” according to Mancini.

Mancini said the group will continue promoting marches at state capitals, hoping to bring the movement to at least 20 states.

Speakers for the national march in January will include former Colts NFL coach Tony Dungy and Jonathan Roumie, who stars as Jesus in “The Chosen,” the Register says.

The Catholic Church has long maintained a stance against abortion, regardless of evolving biological theories about when life begins, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) says. It refers to the Catechism for guidance. It says: ”Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law" (No. 2271).
