WASHINGTON—Some 75 supporters of a woman’s right to choose abortion held a candlelight vigil here January 22 marking the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that decriminalized abortion. Representatives of women’s rights organizations addressed the gathering. Opponents of the right to choose abortion attempted to disrupt the vigil, but the rally proceeded without incident. The next day, another rally took place here calling for the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
