From CNN.com:
"President Obama affirmed his support for a woman's "right to choose" on Thursday, the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that led to the legalization of abortion, as thousands of anti-abortion activists descended on the National Mall to challenge his position.
"Roe v. Wade 'not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters,' Obama said in a statement.
"The landmark 1973 decision held that a woman's right to abortion was protected by the right to privacy under the Constitution's 14th Amendment, voiding most state laws against abortion at the time."
