Throngs of pro-lifers rallied and marched in 25-degree weather against abortion in Washington D.C. on Friday, January 21.
As they have most years since 1974, pro-lifers gathered on the National Mall to hear pro-life speakers and musicians, and then marched through the streets of Washington up Capitol Hill and then to the U.S. Supreme Court building.
On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7-2 ruling in the Roe v. Wade case that legalized elective abortion until the point of viability in every state in the country.
Elective abortion has remained legal in the United States for the past 49 years. However, the pro-life movement continues to be a major force in American politics. Pro-lifers are hopeful that a court with a 6-3 Republican-nominated majority will overturn Roe v. Wade later this year when it rules on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health; it’s a Supreme Court case involving a 2018 Mississippi law that would prevent most abortions from taking place after 15 weeks of pegnancy.
