The '''March for Life''' is the largest and longest annual gathering in the history of the [[United States]].  '''About 400,000 (and growing) gather annually in [[Washington, D.C.]] in support of life and against [[abortion]]'''.<ref name="March for Life">http://www.marchforlife.org/</ref>  By comparison, the biggest sports events attract attendance of only 100,000-250,000, and the biggest cities can accommodate tourism of only about 200,000 at any particular time.  The most recent March for Life was on Thursday, January 22, 2015.
     −
The March for Life began in 1974, on the first anniversary of ''[[Roe v. Wade]]'' (1973).  In addition, over 100,000 gather around the nation in various cities, such as on the West Coast.  The most recent March for Life in D.C. was held on Friday, January 25, 2013 - near the 40th anniversary of [[Roe v. Wade]].<ref name="March for Life"/>

The March for Life was founded by the late Miss [[Nellie Gray]], who led it for nearly four decades. She also set up a non-profit organization by the same name which provides educational workshops typically the day before the [[March]].  Many organizations and groups from across the nation attend the March for Life.  For example, [[Conservapedia]] has led large groups to the March for Life each year beginning in 2009.

The influence of the March for Life might be estimated to be approximately 25 times its attendance, as the average person who attends is bound to communicate his participation to 25 others (at a conservative estimate).<ref>Some, such as clergymen, obviously influence far more.</ref>  '''''An attendance of 400,000 thereby influences perhaps 10 million persons annually, and during a period of a decade the cumulative overall influence reaches perhaps 50 million persons in a personal way'''''.

The March for Life has grown to participation by about 1 in every 400 Americans from East of the [[Mississippi River]].<ref>The population East of the Mississippi River is estimated to be about 178 million.</ref> Additional people from across the nation and out West also travel to attend the March for Life.  In Canada, a March for Life is held on May 12th each year.
