WASHINGTON, Jan 20 - Thousands of abortion opponents plan to rally in Washington on Friday for the 50th annual "March for Life," marking a new chapter for a movement that has organized for decades around overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that recognized a women's right to an abortion.
"It's a moment to stop and to reflect upon all that's happened in the course of the last 50 years leading up to this year, but also to think about what are the next steps," March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said. "We have our work cut out for us." Among the states where Mancini would like to see the march movement expand next are those where the anti-abortion movement has suffered, such as Michigan, she said. Michigan voters approved a state constitutional amendment last November to enshrine abortion rights.
Abortion rights advocates were marking the occasion by reflecting on the enormous disruption in reproductive healthcare that the United States has witnessed over the last year, and calling for more legislation to protect abortion rights at the state and national level.

Wade decision established a nationwide right to abortion.
