61,000,000 Abortions have occurred in America Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973.  The United States remembers 47 years of legalized abortion in all fifty states at any time for any reason throughout pregnancy on January 22nd, the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.  This massive crowd gathered to honor life from conception to natural death with the support and speech by the President of the United States. Members of 50 Catholic Dioceses took part as well as several Universities. It is hoped that the legislation will soon be changed to end abortion in the US. (IMAGE SOURCE : GOOGLE)
