Thousands of pro-life demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life rally despite snow and freezing temperatures. Participants carried signs advocating for the unborn and listened to speeches from U.S. lawmakers, celebrities, and faith leaders. Organizers expected 50,000 people to attend the rally and 100,000 to march, although turnout appeared to be lower due to the stormy weather. The March for Life began in 1973 to protest the legalization of abortion by the Supreme Court in Roe v Wade and continues to advocate for the end of federal protections for abortion.
