Byzantine Catholics join with almost a half million other Americans in the 2015 March for Life in Washington, DC commemorating the anniversary of Roe v Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decisoin that legalized the murder of children in the womb through abortion during all nine months of pregancy.

The March for Life began as a small demonstration and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since 1973 is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, abortion.
