Organizers of the March for Life, the anti-abortion movement’s preeminent annual event, are asking their supporters nationwide not to gather in Washington this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and political unrest.Instead, a small group of invited anti-abortion leaders will march Jan.
29, and the event will be livestreamed, March for Life’s president, Jeanne Mancini, announced Friday.“Since we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol, this year’s March for Life will look different,” she said.
