Thousands march against abortion in Washington

Tens of thousands marched throught the streets of the American capital in support of ending the right to abortion in the United States.

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court found bans on abortion unconstitutional, in the landmark case, Roe. vs. Wade.

For this march, in a change from previous Republican and Democratic admininistrations, both Vice President Mike Pence and senior Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway addressed the crowd.
