WASHINGTON, D.C. – Activists at the 49th annual March for Life told Fox News Digital they were excited 2022 could be the year Roe v. Wade gets overturned.
The March for Life is an annual march to the judiciary that started in 1973, the same year as the landmark abortion decision in Roe. The theme for the march this year was “equality begins in the womb.”
Activists are hopeful that Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which was argued before the Supreme Court in December, will overturn or weaken Roe v. Wade. The decision on the consequential judiciary case is expected by this summer.

“I think 2022 is the year. I really do,” Ryan said.

Noah added, “I think that this is a particularly hopeful year, and I’m really excited about the future and what 2022 will hold for this pro-life generation.”
“I really have faith in the judges, especially the ones that President Trump has appointed,” Gideon added. “I’m hoping for at least a 5-4 or 6-3 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, but we will see what happens.”
