History
January 1974
The first March for Life walks on Washington to lobby Congressional leadership to find a legislative solution to the Supreme Court's decision. Soon after realizing congressional protection of the unborn was not on the horizon, Nellie Gray decides to hold a March for Life every year until Roe v. Wade is overturned.
