Thousands brave snow, cold to protest abortion in 51st March for Life

Thousands of pro-life activists braved snow and below-freezing temperatures to protest legalized abortion in the nation’s capital on Friday, walking to the Capitol and Supreme Court. 

Protesters at the 51st National March for Life, which is held every year around the Jan. 22 anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which the Supreme Court overturned in June 2022, called for legal restrictions on the procedure with exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother. 

But they also expressed a renewed desire to support pregnant women with resources, exhibiting softer rhetoric in the second national march since the high court’s Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling, which returned jurisdiction over abortion to the states.
