Protests Mark Roe v. Wade's 40th Anniversary 
---------------------------------------------


 
Protests on both sides of the reproductive rights debate were held
Tuesday to mark the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court
decision that legalized abortion. Dozens of abortion opponents rallied
outside of the Supreme Court ahead of what they say will be a larger,
so-called March for Life near Capitol Hill on Friday. Meanwhile in
Jackson, Mississippi, abortion rights advocates held a demonstration
outside of the state's lone abortion clinic, which has faced repeated
threats of closure.
