This observance is a peaceful and prayerfu levent that attracts thousands of Arkansans from
across the state including churches and families to remember the estimated 60-plus million
unborn children killed by legal abortion.

The event, sponsored by Arkansas Right to Life, will remember the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States on January 22, 1973. Arkansas was recently named the most pro-life state in the nation for the 5th consecutive year by Americans United for Life.

“Arkansas continues to march and remember the unborn children who were killed by legal
abortion in our state during the 49½ years of Roe v. Wade and mourn the loss of life by those
who obtain abortions in our state illegally and in other states who do not protect the innocent
unborn and their mothers,” said Rose Mimms ,executive director of Arkansas Right to Life. “We
will tirelessly work to support pregnant mothers and save unborn children from those who
demand unlimited and unregulated abortion regardless of the consequences to mothers, fathers, and families.”

Staging for the march begins at 1:30 p.m. at State Street. At 2 p.m., marchers and elected
officials, dignitaries, and other special guests will walk to the steps of the State Capitol for a
brief program featuring abortion survivor Lauren Eden, keynote speaker, Rev. Jim Lagrone, and
Father Mauricio Carrasco. For more information on the 2025 March for Life event visit
