WASHINGTON—Thousands of pro-lifers gathered in a snowy Washington on Jan. 19 to “stand for the unborn” as the March for Life movement celebrated the end of Roe v. Wade while confronting multiple losses at the state level.

Currently in its 51st year, the march coincided with the Jan. 22 anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe, which, along with Planned Parenthood v. Casey, limited how much state legislatures could restrict abortion.
