An estimated 50,000 Americans gathered in the nation’s capital on Friday for the 2022 March for Life. I had the privilege of joining them, arriving in Washington, D.C., that morning with 150 other pro-life college students from my home state of Michigan.

The March for Life brings people together from across the country from different economic, ethnic, racial, religious, and social backgrounds. Despite these differences, however, what I saw uniting all pro-life Americans on Friday was one thing in particular: hope.
