Here’s Why Thousands of Pennsylvanians Are Still Marching for Life

Mary Margaret Olohan /

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Daily Signal joined around 5,000 pro-life activists gathered in Pennsylvania on Monday morning in the very first March for Life since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has sent the power to decide abortion laws back to the states. And as many state legislatures across the United States propose and pass new laws on abortion, concerned citizens from both sides of the debate have taken to the streets to have their voices heard. 

The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan attended the first March for Life since the release of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision this past Monday. Olohan wandered throughout the crowd of around 5,000 demonstrators, asking them to share how they feel about Pennsylvania’s abortion laws, Democratic candidates’ extreme positions on abortion, and more.
