Hundreds of Butler County residents are expected to join the 41st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 22.

The march is in opposition to abortion and marks the anniversary of the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that legalized abortion on Jan. 22, 1973.

Butler marchers will join an expected 200,000 marchers at a rally where U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly of Butler is scheduled to be one of the speakers.

After the march to the Capitol, the Butler delegation will visit the offices of Kelly and Pennsylvania Sens. Pat Toomey and Bob Casey.
