Remembering Roe with Greater Columbus Right to Life 

Each year since 1973, Greater Columbus Right to Life and the pro-life faithful of Ohio gather on or near the anniversary of the U.S Supreme Court’s sweeping decision the broadly legalized abortion.

On January 27th, 2025, 52 years since the passage of Roe v. Wade, we will again join in a time dedicated to remembering those that have been wounded or died at the hands of abortion in the past year, gathering in prayer and unity, and encouraging those who labor against the violence of abortion.
​
With the recent adoption of Issue 1 in the Ohio Constitution, we believe that it is more important than ever to gather, to memorialize, to encourage, and to pray. We hope to see you there!
