The American Life League and National Right to Life groups, among others, are hoping a 50,000-strong march and youth concert will show just how much strength they have behind ending the medical procedure that they call murder. They are expecting a morning phone call from President Bush, who is to express his support for the anti-abortion advocates.
The scenes are fairly typical of the past 30 years, marking more than a generation since women have been able to seek abortions without interference.
The all-male Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Jan. 22, 1973, that a woman's right to choose is based on her constitutional rights to personal liberty, which entails her privacy. The decision overturned state laws banning abortion. Since then, an average of more than 1 million women a year get abortions, among the most common surgical procedures in the United States.
But if the conjectures of late about the future composition of the Supreme Court and recent limits placed on abortion in 34 states are any indication, the Roe decision is facing a crisis in its maturity.
"I would give anything, I mean, I could rest peacefully, I really believe if Roe versus Wade was overturned," said Norma McCorvey, the formerly pro-choice Jane Roe in the landmark case.
