Every January, Catholic communities across America prepare for the familiar rhythm of pro-life events that culminate in the March for Life. The pattern offers predictable activity amid cultural turbulence, although this year brings a more subdued atmosphere. Four years have passed since Dobbs overturned Roe, and the anniversary now carries a tone that feels less like celebration and more like a sober inventory of what has emerged. The Court returned the issue of life in the womb to the states, and the states quickly revealed the condition of their imaginations. The anniversary therefore invites a wider consideration of the nation’s moral horizon.
