Thousands of Anti-Abortion Campaigners March in DC on Anniversary of Roe v. Wade Decision

Supreme Court's landmark decision was made in 1973

Friars and nuns in woolen winter capes and thousands of fellow Catholics rallied Wednesday in frigid temperatures and slippery snow at the annual March for Life.

The world's largest antiabortion event, held on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, grows younger each year. The Mall between Seventh Street and the Washington Monument was full for a few hours with youth groups from across the eastern half of the country.
