Condemning abortion as an abuse of human rights people from across the country participated in the March for Life that takes place annually in the nations capital. The Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling on January 22, 1973 legalized abortion.
Marchers carried signs that read "Defend Life" and "De-fund Planned Parenthoood" crowded the national mall in freezing temperatures to hear politicians and activists reject abortion and say that opposition to it was rising.
"Abortion truly is the human rights abuse of today" said March of Life director Jeanne Monahan. The new normal is to be "pro-life."
A 2011 Public Religion Research Institute survey found that most millenials aged between 18-29 are conlicted on the issue of abortion. 75% say that abortion should be legal and women should have access to abortion services but 65% question the morality of abortion.
