40th anniversary of Roe v Wade

Today is the 4oth anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v Wade, which made abortion legal in all 50 states.  Every year on this day the Pro-life groups descend on Washington DC to march around the Court.  I live in the area so I’ve witnessed these over the years and it always strikes me how the majority of these protesters are very young children.  012208AntiRoeDCMarch
