WASHINGTON (AP/WJLA) - Tens of thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators crowded on to the National Mall for an annual march coinciding with a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

Demonstrators at the 42nd annual March for Life on Thursday carried signs ranging from ones that said "Defend Life" and "I am a voice for the voiceless" to "Thank God my mom's prolife."

The march is held annually on the same day that in 1973 that the Supreme Court announced its decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, a decision that created a constitutional right to abortion.

Among the speakers that addressed the group were several members of Congress, including Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington; Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey; Rep. Daniel Lipinski, D-Illinois, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-South Carolina.

Republican Congressman Mike Pompeo of Kansas says the large youth contingent is evidence that "the pro-life movement is stronger than ever," and a reminder that "every single life is a gift."

But Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter of New York says abortion opponents should not be allowed to impose their beliefs on all women, some of whom may choose the procedure after consulting with clergy.

The GOP leadership in the House had planned on a vote and passage Friday of a measure that would ban most abortions after 20 weeks. But it has been pulled because objections were raised by Republican women and others, leaving the proposal short of votes.
President Barack Obama has said he'll veto the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act if it reaches his desk.

Put the clinics at the far end of the orphanages so the protester have to go through them all. Like getting a jug of milk at a big store, about as far from the till as you can get. If any make it through and there is anybody left they hit a revolving door that takes them to the old folks section and that is more for the 'temp baby' that then dies and you are free to go about a normal life. Under the new theory that most marriages take place because on or the other is too lazy to masturbate and most couples have kids because their own lives suck and they are bored and they think having an infant, a demanding infant is a sure cure, . . . not and then you have a broken member of society. Somewhat expensive to fix, even if the desire is there in the first place, so far it isn't.
