Thousands in Mexico March for Life in Defense of the Unborn Chanting "Every life is a triumph"


The 14th edition of the March for Life took place in Mexico City on Saturday, May 3, 2025, with the participation of thousands of people who expressed their opposition to the legalization of abortion in that city for 18 years.

The march, organized by the Pasos por la Vida association along with other institutions, started at the Monument to the Revolution and traveled more than two kilometers to reach the City Congress.

Young people, seniors, and entire families marched among banners with slogans such as "Every life is a triumph," "Legal abortion, a real tragedy," "Love life, choose life," and slogans lamenting the lack of comprehensive support policies for pregnant women. They also denounced what they considered the negative impact of nearly two decades of legalized abortion.

Since April 2007, abortion has been legal in Mexico City up to the 12th week of pregnancy, making it the first state in the country to adopt this measure. Since then, 22 other states have decriminalized abortion, with a notable push during the six-year term of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018–2024), of the MORENA political party.
Currently, President Claudia Sheinbaum, also of MORENA, continues to promote this same policy.
According to data from the organization Pasos por la Vida, the accumulation of these changes has resulted in “more than 292,000 Mexican lives never seeing the light.”
