The excitement was as palpable as the frigid temperatures as the 2022 March for Life kicked off in Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, with faith leaders, political leaders and thousands of citizens from across the U.S. uniting to share their support of the pro-life the cause in this critical year. The entire event was livestreamed at charismanews.com.
