Activists on both sides of the issue Monday will mark the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
The annual March for Life will be held in Washington, DC. President Bush will call in his support to the anti-abortion rally.
Pro-choice activists will hold a vigil at the Supreme Court and present political leaders with a petition signed by thousands of women who said they had abortions.
In New York, supporters of abortion rights will gather at the state Capitol in Albany to thank lawmakers for legalizing abortion in New York before it was legal in the rest of the country.
The New York Legislature passed a bill that legalized abortion in April of 1970. It was quickly signed into law by then-Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
