Thousands of pro-life activists rallied Saturday on the National Mall, celebrating the first anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and calling for tighter abortion restrictions.
“One year ago today, because of your work and because of your prayers, theof the United States sent Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history where it belongs,” former Vice President Mike Pence, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, told a cheering crowd at the Lincoln Memorial.
After singing the gospel protest song “We Shall Overcome” and the national anthem, activists broke into spontaneous chants of “USA, USA, USA.” Since then, 25 states have moved to restrict abortion at various stages of pregnancy, while the other half have moved to expand access. Other rally speakers gave religious, legal and scientific reasons to push Congress for a federal abortion ban in the wake of Dobbs.
Polling has consistently shown that most Americans favor a middle ground on abortion, keeping it legal up to 15 weeks of pregnancy with some restrictions — and illegal after that only with some exceptions.
