Seven months after their historic victory in the Supreme Court, thousands of opponents of abortion meet on Friday, January 20, in Washington on the occasion of their annual march.
Friday, June 24, the highest court in the country overturned the Roe vs. Wade judgment which guaranteed access to abortion in the United States.
A decision applauded by many conservatives, who have been demanding for years that the right to legislate return to the States.
Since then, thirteen of them have adopted near-total bans, while a dozen others have imposed very strict limitations.
Moreover, some twenty states have taken the opposite path by increasing or strengthening access to abortion.
For pro-life activists, Roe's cancellation is just a first step.
Their ultimate goal is to make abortion nearly illegal across the country.
