Each year since 1973, abortion rights activists have gathered on Jan. 22 for “Roe v. Wade Day” to celebrate the Supreme Court decision that granted a constitutional right to abortion. Now, 50 years after the decision, Roe v. Wade Day will be different.
"This anniversary has always been a time of honoring the long battles of generations before us," said Melissa Fowler, chief program officer at the National Abortion Federation, the professional association of abortion providers."Now, it's a focus on the work ahead. As we settle into this new reality, we do so knowing this is a long fight. And we have hope we can not only restore abortion rights but create a world where there's more access than there ever was under Roe.
"We have an opportunity now to build a future that serves and centers BIPOC people and all of those historically forced to the margins," she said.

The march, which includes a rally drawing abortion opponents from across the nation, has been held annually since January 1974 — a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision established a nationwide right to abortion. This year’s gathering — 50 years after that decision — will be the first since the high court struck down Roe in a momentous ruling last June.
