With the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision giving states the task of deciding on abortion behind them, March for Life has come up with a 2023 theme and plan for upcoming events.

“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.”

March for Life announced the theme going forward would be: “Next steps: Marching into a post-Roe America,” and said the group will present a “strategic plan for building a culture of life.”

Voters in some states where abortion sentiments run strong are being asked to consider the candidates’ views on the matter.

The Florida gubernatorial race between Gov. Ron DeSantis and Charlie Crist will be held Nov. 8. A Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops' (FCCB) statement aims to educate voters on where each candidates stands on certain issues that are important for Catholics.

On abortion, DeSantis signed a law banning abortion at 15 weeks. "Florida will continue to defend its recently enacted pro-life reforms against state court challenges, will work to expand pro-life protections, and will stand for life by promoting adoption, foster care and child welfare,” he tweeted after the bill was signed.

The FCCB statement cites Crist's views, referring to his website, where the challenger states he will “veto any anti-choice legislation passed by the legislature.” He “will sign an Executive Order defending the right to access a safe abortion” and will “fight for Floridians’ rights to make decisions about their own bodies.”

Besides announcing the theme for 2023, another big change is in store for the Washington, D.C., march. National Catholic Register reports that the march will now end at the U.S. Capitol, not the Supreme Court as in the past.

“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,” said Jeannie Mancini, president of the March for Life.

The national demonstration will continue to happen in January, Mancini said, explaining that “our largest group of participants in the March are students” and 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 said in the Register’s report. “While we celebrate that we’re at this new moment… we will continue to march in January.”

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

The group will also continue promoting marches on state capitals, hoping to involve at least 20 states, especially those where the abortion matter is in flux.

At the Jan. 20 march, the Register says guest speakers will be former Colts NFL coach Tony Dungy and Jonathan Roumie, who takes on the role of Jesus in “The Chosen.”

The Catholic Church has maintained a firm opposition to abortion for centuries, regardless of evolving biological theories about when exactly life begins, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The Catechism says this on the topic: "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).
