Was Roe V Wade Protested From the Start?

Please only vote in the poll if you are old enough to remember for yourself. If you would like to provide documentation, great, but what I'm trying to establish is what those of us old enough to remember actually recall.

Thanks!

I am old enough but don't remember. I was only 12 and didn't pay attention to politics or the news.

I was in the womb at the time.

I was 13, but also not paying attention.

I remember a lot of grumbling about it, but we were already in the "take God out of schools" campaign, so it just seemed like yet another step toward Gomorrah.

Pretty young at the time (still a teen). Actually thought it was for the best back then. But I remember small disorganized protesting back then which grew and coalesced

It was, from my recollection, though I was in high school then (senior year). Not super organized, but it was indeed immediately protested. In fact, the first March For Life took place precisely one year after the decision was handed down.

The Gondola Pilot is not exactly wrong....

March for Life (Washington, D.C.)

The March for Life is an annual rally and march opposing both the practice and legality of abortion, held in Washington, D.C. on or around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a decision issued in 1973 by the United States Supreme Court legalizing abortion nationwide. The march advocated for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which successfully happened with the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24, 2022. It is a major gathering of the anti-abortion movement in the United States and is organized by the March for Life Education and Defense Fund.
