Right to Life
March on Washington
A dedicated group of Academy students and staff members joined many thousands of Americans from across the country on January 22 at the annual “March for Life” in Washington, D.C. The annual march is a demonstration of the widespread opposition to the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade to remove restrictions on abortions. Here, the Academy delegation pauses in front of the U.S. Capitol.
