Nearly 400,000 disposable diapers will line Capitol Hill this Saturday in what organizers call the largest charitable donation of its kind in America’s history.

According to the Christian Post, the massive pro-life demonstration, led by Students for Life of America during the "National Celebrate Life Weekend," aims to highlight the number of abortions performed annually at Planned Parenthood while providing tangible support to families in need.

Dubbed the “Nation’s Largest Diaper Drive & Rally,” the event will take place in Washington, D.C., with contributions sourced from a pro-life diaper company and distributed nationwide after the public display.

Students for Life of America, known for its national advocacy work and campus outreach, is behind the effort alongside other anti-abortion groups such as Standing With You and the Abortion-Free Cities Campaign.

The timing of the rally marks the anniversary of the 2022 decision that ended Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that previously guaranteed federal abortion rights.

Organizers say the rows of diapers—totaling 400,000—are meant to represent the lives lost through abortions performed by Planned Parenthood in the last fiscal year.

Symbolic Statement and Public Distribution

Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, said the massive installation is intended to send a message to lawmakers about what she called a legislative failure to act.

“We’ll be displaying [the diapers] on Capitol Hill in a powerful way,” Hawkins said. “We're also showing the country what the pro-life movement does every day…which is toward supporting women and families.”

The diapers were purchased from the pro-life brand EveryLife and cost over $100,000. The funding was made possible through donor contributions and outreach campaigns led by partner groups.

Following the public event, the supplies will be donated to churches, maternity homes, pregnancy resource centers, and any families who register online to receive aid. Recipients can choose sizes and quantities based on their specific needs.

Around 200 student volunteers and staff will help coordinate the setup, oversee distribution, and assist families throughout the multi-step operation.

“It’s going to be America’s largest diaper giveaway ever in our history,” Hawkins added. “And it’s going to be the pro-life movement doing that.”

A Logistical Undertaking for a Social Cause

The event’s execution has been described by SFLA as its largest logistical challenge to date, requiring dozens of tractor-trailers, extensive storage boxes, and a detailed coordination plan.

“There’s getting the boxes, the diapers, the tractor trailers, unloading them, and giving them out,” Hawkins said. “This is massive.”

Despite the complexity, she emphasized that every department within her organization had come together to execute the drive. “All of our teams are coming together on this,” she said.

Political Context and Advocacy Goals

This year’s display also coincides with renewed federal debate over the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which recently passed the U.S. House and aims to eliminate public funding for abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood.

According to SFLA, Planned Parenthood received nearly $800 million in taxpayer dollars last year while reducing other health services such as cancer screenings.

This event echoes a similar demonstration in 2017, when the organization installed more than 200,000 baby socks on the Capitol lawn to represent abortion victims.

Message to Lawmakers and the Public

“I think America needs to see this,” Hawkins said about the diaper display. “I think Capitol Hill needs to see this.”

She framed the project as both a protest against abortion and an expression of compassion. “We’re not only showing the tragedy of what Planned Parenthood continues to commit every single day… but also the hope and the love and the support that the pro-life movement provides.”

Saturday’s giveaway, part demonstration and part humanitarian effort, aims to bridge political messaging with practical support, according to its organizers. As lawmakers continue debating reproductive rights, advocates hope the diaper drive offers another illustration of their long-term mission.
