march-for-life-320

Tens of thousands of Americans came to Washington this week (January 22) for the annual March for Life. The weather was unusually mild, but this year’s event was clouded by a new political controversy. Abortion opponents were upset after Republican House leaders delayed a vote on a bill that would restrict abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Several female GOP members had raised concerns that the bill didn’t have enough exceptions for victims of rape and incest.
