Anti-abortion protesters are gathering in the nation's capital with a sense that the U.S. has reached a moment that could lead to a rollback of abortion rights. The Supreme Court appears likely to let states impose tighter abortion restrictions.
Still, the rally drew a crowd of thousands on a sunny but frigid day, with a heavy contingent of young people and students bussed in by schools and church groups. The mood was overwhelmingly optimistic, with many treating the end of Roe v Wade as an inevitability.
“Sometimes I would come to the March and it would be great to be united with people who share my beliefs, but there would also be this heaviness,” he said. “This time the whole language and vibe is different.”Abortion rights groups worry that at least 26 states are in line to further limit abortion access if Roe is weakened or overturned.
Lawmakers from both parties weighed in Friday to note the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and reflect on the shifting political landscape surrounding abortion.
