This year’s March for Life in Washington, D.C., presented a new sense of urgency for the pro-life movement, sophomore Mary Olivia Balmert said.
Balmert was just one of more than 600 students and faculty members representing the Notre Dame Right to Life (RTL) club who converged Friday on the National Mall. The group joined 650,000 people from across the country who marched in protest of the 1973 Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion.
