Why these pro-lifers continue to march even after Roe's reversal
'Blood is on my hands'
Luke Newcomb of Warrensburg, Missouri, attended the March for Life for the first time this year.
He suggested that it "would be wrong not to" attend the event because "64 million babies have been killed since 1973."
"And if there's anything that I'm not doing to do my small part to stop it, then that's on me; all that blood is on me," he said. "If there's any event that I can go to, like this, that I'm not going to, 64 million dead babies' blood is on my hands."

Newcomb, who is in the process of becoming Roman Catholic, delivered a message to his fellow Christians.
"If you're not doing something about this issue, if you're not doing something about children being ripped apart legally, basically in your front yard, if you're turning a blind eye, how can you call yourself a Christian? How can you call yourself someone who stands up for morality or values if you're not even speaking about this at work?"
"You don't have to go to every March for Life, but don't put your head in the sand and ignore the issue," he proclaimed.
While raised Protestant, he reported that his faith had become "wishy-washy" in his early 20s. Newcomb discussed how his embrace of Catholicism informed his pro-life activism.
"I'm pretty sure I would be pro-life if I was not Christian or religious at all," he said. "However, the Christian faith definitely puts an emphasis on life and puts an emphasis on defending it."
"My opinions, I don't think they would have changed. But my faith makes my opinions stronger than they would have been without it," Newcomb maintained.
