WASHINGTON - Less than a week after Washington D.C., was the scene of a celebration for the Presidential Inauguration, it's going to be the scene of a protest.

The National Mall in Washington is expected to be filled with thousands of abortion opponents this afternoon.

The demonstrators plan to march in front of The Supreme Court and protest the controversial Roe Vs. Wade decision.

Event organizers say former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is scheduled to speak.

This year makes the 40th anniversary of the ruling, which legalized abortion.
