Members of the Catholic Medical Association turned out in force for the 2013 March for Life in Washington, D.C. to mark the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Our hearts were in the trim, however, and we will be back stronger than ever next year, and as long as it takes to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Board president Jack Lane and Giles Brehany carry the CMA banner at the 2013 March for Life.
