| WASHINGTON — Thousands of abortion opponents marched from the National Mall to the Supreme Court on Tuesday in their annual remembrance of the court's Roe v. Wade decision.
A smaller crowd of several dozen abortion-rights supporters held their own rally later, marking the 35th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling that established the nationwide right to abortion...
..."You really see that the abortion laws in the United States really don't reflect the heart of America," she said.
In addition to more typical "Defend life" and "Stop abortion" signs, some in the crowd held banners in support of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a long-shot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
Paul, a libertarian with an anti-war bent, addressed the rally and spoke of his credentials as an obstetrician who has delivered 4,000 babies.
"The debate over when life begins should not be a debate. Let me assure you: All life begins at conception," he said.

| Unfortunately Ron Paul is as old as dirt and will soon be joining it. |

| Hmmm... Do I detect ageism discrimination (unwarranted) around here, or what? We all grow, mature, die... not a reason to hold it against him... It's what he stands for... ideas... that counts... no? |

| Not ageism. I meant, it's unfortunate that he won't be around for much longer. |
