HeadlineJan 23, 2013

Protests on both sides of the reproductive rights debate were held Tuesday to mark the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Dozens of abortion opponents rallied outside of the Supreme Court ahead of what they say will be a larger so-called March for Life near Capitol Hill on Friday. Meanwhile, in Jackson, Mississippi, abortion rights advocates held a demonstration outside of the state’s lone abortion clinic, which has faced repeated threats of closure.
