Thousands of students, teachers, churches and families will join the fight against abortion at the annual March for Life rally in the nation’s capital today.
The rally was initiated as a response to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision 42 years ago on Jan. 22, 1973. It has continued to grow each year in Washington and in cities across America.
Here are 42 tweets from some of the marchers gearing up to participate:

We transcend politics in our methods but believe in exercising our right to be a voice for the voiceless. #march4life http://t.co/JnuMa36oE5

People on the way to the #march4life complaining about #SOTU because Obama is promoting things like…paid maternity leave. Too much irony.
