'Still much work ahead': Pro-life activists reflect two years after Roe v. Wade's reversal
Jeanne Mancini
In a statement shared with The Christian Post, Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, the organization that hosts the national March for Life each year in Washington, said that even with Roe being reversed, the country is still in the middle of what she called the "greatest human rights battle of our time."
"Many believed that Roe v. Wade would never be overturned; yet after 50 years of dedicated and passionate marching, the pro-life movement witnessed its most monumental victory yet in the greatest human rights battle of our time," she said.
"As much as this is a moment to celebrate, the anniversary of Dobbs is also a reminder of the immense work that lies ahead," she stated. "While state protections for the unborn and women have already saved thousands of innocent lives, the nation is facing [an] unprecedented push from radical activists towards abortion extremism on both the state and the federal level."

Mancini expressed concern that pro-life pregnancy resource centers that help women who want to choose life with emotional and material resources "are suffering political persecution from far-left, pro-abortion politicians."
She was referring to calls to shut down the pregnancy centers by both federal and state politicians. Earlier this month, Massachusetts became the first state to launch an ad campaign targeting such organizations.
Mancini issued a call-to-action for the pro-life movement.
"It is up to the pro-life community now to unite and redouble our efforts in our noble case so that the torch from the last half century continues to burn brightly into the post-Dobbs era — as we continue our work to build a culture in which every human life is valued and protected."
