It is less than a week into the Obama Administration, and anti-abortion activists are seething about the president's early actions. Their collective anger, however, didn't prevent tens of thousands from marching in Washington on January 22 -- the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision -- in the annual "March for Life."

On January 22, Obama issued a statement saying that:

"On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects womens health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a womans right to choose."

If Barack Obama "keeps his promise" to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), he "will press the reset button on the pro-life movement and reverse decades of legislation, regulations not built on the firm foundation of personhood, but misguided laws built on sand shifting in the political wind," said Brian Rohrbough, President, American Right To Life.

Jill Stanek's BornAliveTruth, in concert with Operation Rescue, premiered a new anti-abortion film, "22 Weeks" in Washingtonm on the eve of the "March for Life."
