Each year on January 22nd, folks on both sides of the abortion issue descend on the Capitol.

This year the March for Life (pro-life) will begin with a rally on the National Mall & 7th Street at noon. The march will go down Constitution Avenue and end at the Supreme Court.

Pro-choice organizations such as the National Organization for Women, Choice USA, and NARAL Pro-Choice will gather at noon at the Supreme Court, on 1rst Street NE between Maryland Avenue and East Capitol. Also, if you are registered as a clinic escort please contact the Planned Parenthood in the District. As the March for Life goes by the clinic, every year escorts are asked to stand together to help protect the clinic from potential acts of violence.

All groups will need to take the metro and, as many streets downtown will be closed, driving in the District is not advised.
