Right to Life march in Syracuse marks 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade

As thousands took part in Women's marches all over the country Saturday, there was another March that brought big crowds. A large anti-abortion crowd marched through downtown Syracuse Saturday. The rally marked 45 years since the Supreme Court decision Roe vs. Wade, legalized abortions. Christina Fadden Fitch is the president of Syracuse Right to Life and one of the organizers of the march. She said she is encouraged by congressional bills that impose restrictions on abortions. “When you speak about the political climate though, what we see is the logjam," Fitch said. "Things that have wide support, polls are done, that have limits on abortion can’t get through. That’s the frustration with the political climate a lot of times, that it becomes a political football so the people’s will isn’t done.” John Petrilli is a right-to-life activist who has been coming to the march for many years. He said more people should take the time to come to one of their rallies and meet pro-life supporters
