The annual anti-abortion demonstration has brought supporters to the nation's capital each year since the first anniversary of Roe v. Wade in 1974 to hear from speakers and march to the Supreme Court building.

On Feb. 27, Ledlow along with more than 100 mostly anti-abortion Christians gathered together in front of Planned Parenthood on 123 East Indiana Ave. to launch Spokane’s 40 Days for Life prayer vigil that will officially begin March 6 and go through April 14.

On Friday, Mike Pence made history when he became the first vice president and the most senior administration official to address the March for Life, an annual event held in Washington, D.C. to mark the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, the controversial decision that made abortion legal in all 50 states.

Nellie Gray, the longtime leader of the annual March for Life, which protests the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, has died at age 88.

The March for Life website said Tuesday (Aug. 14) that Gray died “over the weekend.”
